100 WA / 100 VM / 100 DE / 100 WCI / 98 FS / 19 JR An utterly awesome wine, the only problem with the 2000 Lafleur is that I indicated its maturity window would be 2012-2040+. Based on two tastings of it, I would...
94 WA / 94 JA / 18 JR Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index’s 2000 tasting in London. There is a lot of ripeness on the nose with small black cherries, pomegranate, a touch of leather, pencil shavings and allspice. The...

93 WE / 92 WCI In 2000, this was still the property of Lily Lacoste, who also owned Pétrus. Latour à Pomerol was sold in 2001 to a Catholic charity. The management, then and now, is with the Moueix family who...

96 VM The 2000 L.V. Long Vieillissement, a recent re-release, is a fabulous choice for readers who enjoy Champagnes with a bit of bottle age complexity. Hazelnut, dried flowers, orchard fruit, herbs, mirabelle and lightly...
92 WA / 92 WS / 89+ VM / 17 JR Tasted at the chateau. A slightly lighter hue than the 1995 Blanc, with green tints. But the nose has more freshness with greater precision and mineralite, notes of passion fruit, a touch of...
