Tasting Notes:

96 points Jeannie Cho Lee

95 point Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

93 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate “It has a classic tobacco and sous-bois scented nose with hints of undergrowth and Japanese green tea. It is well defined, perhaps a little aloof, but very attractive and cerebral. The palate is beautifully balanced with firm tannins that lend this a masculine personality. But it is fresh and vibrant, conservative with a lovely finish of dried herbs and dried blood. There is a captivating nonchalance imbued in this 88 Lafleur it is what it is. Tasted June 2012.”
