{"product_id":"2018-chateau-lafleur-pomerol-bottle-750ml","title":"2018 Chateau Lafleur, Pomerol, Bottle (750ml)","description":"AG100 \"The 2018 Lafleur is mesmerizing. What a wine! The aromatics alone are spellbinding. There is no need to actually taste the 2018 to know how profound it is. Silky and caressing, with phenomenal persistence, the 2018 is a total knock-out. Spice, cedar, blood orange, sage, mint, rose petal and kirsch all race out of the glass, saturating the palate with a dazzling concoction of aromas, textures and flavors. Readers lucky enough to find it should not hesitate.\" AG for VM Mar 2021\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJD100 \"The Grand Vin 2018 Château Lafleur from this magical terroir checks in as 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot that comes only from the more gravelly soils of the vineyard and spent 15 months in 25% new French oak. It's as good as any wine can get and has a layered, multi-dimensional style that marries power with elegance as only this estate can do. Offering notes of black raspberries, tobacco, truffly earth, spring flowers, and chocolate, it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, but nevertheless is as weightless as they come, offering this \"je ne sais quoi\" character that's hard to describe. It's more backward and reserved than the Pensées and is going to take a decade of bottle age to hit maturity, but it's a desert Island wine if there ever was one.\" JD Mar 2021\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJS100 \"So subtle and complex with blackberry, blueberry, fresh bark, fresh black truffles and light wet earth, as well as forest floor. Full-bodied, yet linear and so long with an amazingly polished and refined tannin structure and finesse that draws you deep and down in the palate. It opens incredibly in the glass. What a wine. Goes on for minutes. A real beauty. Something so true and ethereal here.\" JS Jan 2021","brand":"Lafleur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49709256704237,"sku":"BDX:LFL:LAFL-0750-2018-F0L0C0","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXLFLLAFL-0750-2018-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1774626744","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2018-chateau-lafleur-pomerol-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
