The 1998 Lafleur has been biding its time since it exited from barrel and is now just beginning to flex its muscles. The wonderful bouquet has finally opened with complex red berry fruit, wild hedgerow, truffle and Earl Grey scents that are beautifully defined, opulent yet wonderfully controlled. That translates across onto the palate, which is deep and opulent compared to, say, the 2000, yet exhibits real panache and style. This is structured, yet time is abrading its austerity after 27 years to reveal a compelling white pepper- and mineral-infused finish that is sensual and harmonious. The 1998 is utterly sublime and destined for a long drinking window. Tasted from ex-château magnum at Kate & Kon's 40-Year vertical in Austria. Neal Martin2nd September 2025
