Tasting notes
Belongs to Laurent Dassault of the eponymous château. Oak a little obvious. Very sweet start. Tart end. Not very integrated. Old, forced style. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2024-2030

Lots of walnut and blackberry aromas and flavors. Full and savory. All there. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
The 2014 La Fleur is laced with the essence of mocha, plum, dark spices, new leather and dark blue/purplish fruits. Open-knit and luscious, the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring. There is plenty to admire in this plush, open-knit Saint-Émilion. Apr 2016, www.Vinous.com
The 2015 La Fleur had a high-toned and slightly jammy bouquet that felt pushed too hard. The palate is sweet and chewy on the entry, very dense with a lot of extract, though I would be seeking more tension and detail on the rather blocky finish. Apr 2016, www.robertparker.com
