"A '95 that exploded in the glass in contact with the air.Solid and masculine,with dark chocolate and bitter mocha notes,there's big intensity here.While the tannins are burly for now,the aromas keep coming - rose petal,violet,and currant backed by creamy,vanilla bean character.Elegant finish.Best from 2005 through 2015".

James Suckling. (Chateau Lafleur vertical. Wine Spectator).
"This is an awesome Lafleur,but it is also an amazingly backward tannic monster that will need more cellaring than any Medoc in this vintage.The wine boasts an opaque black/purple color,as well as a closed but promising nose that represents the essence of blackberry,raspberry,and cherry fruit.Intertwined with those aromas is the tell-tale mineral terroir of Lafleur,full-body and a layered,weighty feel on the palate.This is the kind of young claret that I couldn't wait to rush out and buy two decades ago,but now I have to be content to admire it and wish I were twenty years younger.It is formidable,prodigious,and oh,so promising,but I cannot see it being ready to drink before the end of the second decade of the next century. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2050".
