The 2018 Lafleur-Gazin is a supple, easygoing Pomerol. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, mint, new leather and cedar all develop with a bit of air. Blood orange, cinnamon and spice notes come to the fore with a bit of air, adding aromatic lift. I expected to see a bit more depth, especially in the mid-palate, but the 2018 is nicely balanced and ready to offer fine drinking for the next two decades or so.
