TN: 1978 Chateau Lafleur

Decanted for 2 hours, this is a beautiful wine that has fully integrated. Smelling the wine brought back memories of camping in Spring with flowers all around me and meat with mushrooms cooking over a campfire. Took a sip and instantly got smoked meat, truffles, spice and floral things. The wine is so smooth it’s like running your hand along the curves of a newly detailed sports car. This Lafleur is singing ‘hallelujah’.

Hallelujah!

I’ve only had it once and It showed very well, but did not have the fireworks yours did.
