Robert Parker (93)

The 2016 Lafleur-Gazin is made up of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Medium garnet-purple colored, it simply sings of red roses, cherry cordial, blackberry pie and warm blueberries with suggestions of cinnamon toast and wood smoke. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with tons of juicy red and blue berry flavors, supported by a wonderfully soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

James Suckling (93)

Deep and juicy with lots of blackberry and light chocolate character. Medium to full body and a savory finish. All here.

Jancis Robinson (17)

Dark crimson. Meaty and substantial on the nose. Very dry – as opposed to sweet. Serious, intellectual Pomerol! A wine to unfurl over many years... (JR)

Falstaff (93)

Dark ruby, purple reflections, faint brightening on the rim. Ripe cherry fruit on the nose with a delicate herbal savouriness underlaid with fresh orange zest and red berry notes. Moderately complex palate, more red cherry, integrated tannins with fresh acidity, lemony finish and some liquorice.

Wine Enthusiast (92)

Almost pure Merlot, this dense wine is rich and packed with black fruits. Its concentration and density are massive, with tannins that are almost velvet in character.
