1983 Chateau Lafleur Pomerol (torn labels)

(92 points) "Fully mature, yet still in far better condition than most 1983 Pomerols, Lafleur’s 1983 has a medium ruby color with considerable pink at the edge. A very exotic, almost kinky nose of Asian spice, licorice, truffle, and jammy kirsch is followed by a medium to full-bodied, plum, fleshy wine with sweet tannin, and low acidity in a very evolved style. Certainly among the very good vintages of Lafleur over the last 20 years, this is the most evolved and drinkable." (01/2003) 91 points The Wine Spectator: "Port-like. A monster. Extremely ripe, exaggerated style with loads of berry and earth character. Full-bodied and tannic. " Wine Advocate
