Note di degustazione
The 2014 Pensées de Lafleur is showing a touch of greenness on the nose, although I found it well defined and offering attractive tobacco and cigar box notes with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is satisfying fruit concentration here, a fine bead of acidity and a harmonious, lightly spiced finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Sweet, buttery nose with lots of ripe fruit but perhaps it could do with just a little more zip and freshness? Lightly vegy. A tad astringent. (JR)
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. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite strict tannin. There is an appealing symmetry to this Les Pensées, exuding immense precision and tension on the finish without showing off. As I wrote in my primeur note, perfect for those that cannot afford the Grand Vin.
