Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Blended of 55 Merlot and 45 Cabernet Franc the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Pensées de Lafleur opens with bold tantalizing notes of crushed black cherries wild blueberries and plum preserves with hints of kirsch violets dark chocolate and licorice with a waft of forest floor. Medium-bodied the palate is amazingly elegant for the intensity of fruit with beautifully ripe finely grained tannins and fantastic freshness finishing long and layered.
James Suckling
The complexity on the nose is so mesmerizing with subtle smoke dried meat and plums. Full-bodied with so well integrated and ultra-fine tannins the wine shows composure and greatness. it goes on for minutes. Harmony. Grace. Wonderful wine. Second wine of Lafleur. Better in 2023.
Decanter
This has astonishing tannic presence for a second wine, and yet the individual strands are so soft and silky. It is more perfumed and softly fruited than Lafleur at this stage, rising in your mouth with a mouthwatering succulence on the finish. 55 Merlot and 45 Cabernet Franc from 0.7ha. 3.5pH. The biggest production volume for four years.
Vinous
The 2016 Pensées de Lafleur is a flat out stunning second wine. Black cherry plum chocolate and leather are some of the many notes that fill out the wine's layers. Today the Pensées comes across as surprisingly dark and powerful. This is a very serious second wine. Accordingly readers should plan on cellaring it for at least a few years.
Jeb Dunnuck
The second wine from this estate is also brilliant and doesn’t give much to its bigger sibling. The 2016 Pensées de Lafleur offers a gorgeous bouquet of mulberries, cassis, and damp earth that flows to a medium to full-bodied 2016 that has more than a hint of the character, elegance, and purity that the estate’s grand vin is known for. With flawless balance and an utterly seamless texture, drink this brilliant second wine any time over the coming 20-25 years.
