The 2018 vintage produced some great wines in Bordeaux and one of the perfect wines of the vintage was the Château Lafleur Pomerol 2018, which James tasted over Zoom earlier this year with Omri Ram, winemaker and viticulturalist at Chateau Lafleur.
James described the tannins as extremely fine, like silk. "It has a refined tannin structure and finesse that draws you deep and down in the palate," he said. Ram agreed, emphasizing how Lafleur wines are all about "tannin texture and memory".
