2018 Chateau Lafleur-Gazin, Pomerol, France (750ml) Edna Valley Generous and perfumed with aromasTASTING NOTES: The dark plum and cherry preserve flavors are fleshy in feel, with singed cedar and tobacco notes filling in through the finish. A touch woodsy in the end, but there's enough fruit to soak that up. Wine Spectator, 94 pts. Extremely rich and opulent nose of ripe fruit and meat with flowers, following through to a full body with round, juicy and chewy tannins that are polished and rather soft. Intense finish. Try after 2024. James
