The 2014 Les Pensees de Lafleur has developed nicely now that the wine is in bottle. It has a composed bouquet with scents of raspberry preserve, blackcurrant leaf and a touch of chalk, all neatly defined and discretely enmeshed with the oak.

As I wrote in my primeur note, perfect for those that cannot afford the Grand Vin
