Merchant's description
Compared by Neal Martin to the spectacular 1982 vintage, Lafleur 1989 is a beguiling blend of pure black fruit, crushed rock, dried flowers and elegant cedar notes. Still fresh in the glass, this medium bodied Pomerol will delight fans of the supple, silky style that defines top tier Right Bank Bordeaux.
