Tasting by William Kelley in 2022: "The Lafleur 2019 is a young wine of great depth which unfolds in the glass with aromas of rose petals, raspberry and sweet spices mixed with notions of blood orange, of violet and fresh tobacco that are hauntingly reminiscent of this estate's great 1982. Full-bodied, deep and seamless, it is layered and multi-dimensional, with a concentrated core of vibrant fruit, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, and seductive. ends with a long finish of dazzling intensity. This magical Lafleur is undoubtedly one of the wines of the vintage."
