The 2011 Pensée de Lafleur has quite a high-toned, candied bouquet with brambly red fruit, star anis and graphite, fresh and with more energy than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, bright red fruit laced with desiccated orange peel, tobacco and graphite, cohesive towards the finish with admirable length. This is showing well and should age nicely in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
