What the critics say
95 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 02-09-2025
The 1995 Lafleur should be retitled "normal service is resumed" after the challenges of the previous four vintages. I have tasted this vintage several times and it never fails to impress. This has a multi-faceted bouquet with vibrant raspberry and strawberry fruit, Earl Grey and dried rose petal scents that seems to "deepen" with aeration. Superb delineation. The palate is medium-bodied but has real substance and gentle-but-insistent grip. As it opens, it develops subtle minty notes intertwined with fresh black truffle shavings. There is a lot going on in this superb Lafleur that is drinking beautifully after 30 years. Tasted from ex-château magnum at Kate & Kon's 40-Year vertical in Austria.
Drink 2025 to 2050

This is an awesome Lafleur, but it is also an amazingly backward, tannic monster that will need more cellaring than any Medoc in this vintage. The wine boasts an opaque black/purple color, as well as a closed but promising nose that represents the essence of blackberry, raspberry, and cherry fruit. Intertwined with those aromas is the tell-tale mineral terroir of Lafleur, full body, blistering dry, astringent tannin, and a layered, weighty feel on the palate. This is the kind of young claret that I couldn't wait to rush out and buy two decades ago, but now I have to be content to admire it and wish I were twenty years younger. It is formidable, prodigious, and oh, so promising, but I cannot see it being ready to drink before the end of the second decade of the next century! Anticipated maturity: 2020-2050.
