1999 Chateau Lafleur Pomerol

1999 Chateau Lafleur Pomerol

I have very fond memories of a lot of Pomerol 1999. I vividly remembered on a Pomerol tasting, there were great Pomerol wines served, e.g. Lafleur 85, 96 and even a Petrus 94, but the one who stood tall and achieved Wine of the Night was Trotanoy 99! So when I was given the opportunity to drink this Lafleur 99, I reached the counter in no time to get a glass. I can swear by it that it was a truly unique experience! The content was mostly on the extreme scale of roundedness and forwardness. The most astonishing factor was that it was perhaps the most easy to drink wine! The easiness created a melt in your mouth type of feeling, even easier than ice melting in your mouth, as it simply melted the moment it touched my palette. It’s truly a unique experience, I never had such an encounter with Bordeaux wines before after drinking thousands of bottles of Bordeaux wine!
