Robert Parker (91)

The Guinaudeau family has produced what is arguably their finest wine at Lafleur in 2009. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc from a portion of the vineyard that sits in a swale, the 2009 Les Pensees de Lafleur has terrific purity, a serious level of concentration, impressive notes of melted licorice and kirsch liqueur, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. While its tannins are soft, the wine boasts plenty of glycerin and leaves an impressive tactile impression. Drink it over the next 20-15 years

Quite plush, with a gorgeous cashmere feel to the black cherry preserves, plum and blackberry fruit, supported by alluring black tea and a long, tobacco-filled finish. Very suave. Approachable now, but with lovely length.
