The 2006 Lafleur Bordeaux Blend from Pomerol, Bordeaux, produced by Chateau Lafleur, is a red wine with a 14% alcohol content, sealed with a cork closure. This vintage has garnered praise from several notable wine critics, reflecting its complexity and potential for aging.

Wine Spectator awarded the 2006 Lafleur a score of 93, noting that it "starts off very slow, then opens to violet and lilac, with crushed raspberry and strawberry." The review highlights its "full-bodied" nature, with "racy, intense acidity and tannins," describing it as "powerful and layered, with wonderful, subtle fruit and a long finish." The publication recommends enjoying this wine after 2015 for the best experience.

James Suckling also rated this wine highly, giving it a 93. He drew comparisons to the 2005 vintage, mentioning the "floral and dark berry notes" on the nose. He describes it as "full and silky, with beautiful juicy fruit on the palate and a long, delicate finish." Suckling emphasized the wine's ability to prepare the palate for enjoyment, advising not to touch it until 2015.

Vinous, through Neal Martin, scored it a 92, describing the nose with "wild strawberry, blackberry and hints of cooked meat." He noted that the palate is "medium-bodied with still a slightly coarse entry," pointing out a "dense and somewhat muscular finish." He acknowledged that it might be "missing Lafleur's usual charm," but still finds it an "impressive Pomerol that requires more cellaring."

Jancis Robinson's review, also awarding a score of 93, described the wine as "polished" with "light leathery notes" and "Burgundian fragrance." She found it "really rather charming" with "luscious fruit in the middle," though not particularly persistent.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, through Neal Martin, echoed similar sentiments, awarding it another 93. The review highlighted a "well-defined bouquet with kirsch, strawberry, touches of melted tar," and a medium-bodied palate with "slightly coarse tannin on the entry." He found the finish "conservative" and "a little austere," concluding it is "an impressive Lafleur."

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com gave the highest score of 96, praising its "flowers, fresh churned earth, cherry pipe tobacco, cocoa and cigar box aromas." He noted that the wine is "still young, fresh, supple and tannic," with "ripe tannins that give structure." He recommended patience, suggesting another 7-10 years of aging for optimal enjoyment.

Overall, the 2006 Lafleur is a highly regarded Bordeaux Blend, notable for its complexity, aging potential, and layered flavors, with excellent reviews pointing towards a promising future for those willing to wait.
