Tasted 7 Times With Consistent NotesAlong with Palmer and Latour, Lafleur is consistently one of the finest wines of the vintage. This 1966 magnum displays a deep ruby/purple color with slight amber at the rim. It offers the essence of black-cherry flavors intertwined with wet stone and cold steel notes, full body, super concentration, admirable structure, magnificent depth and delineation, massive reserves of fruit, and an amazingly long finish. It is approaching full maturity and should last for 20-25 more years.

Dark color, dank nose, ripe cherry and tobacco flavors on its solid, rustic structure. Drinkable, but perhaps best after 1995.--Lafleur vertical. -HS
