The 2020 Lafleur Bordeaux Blend is a red wine from the prestigious Chateau Lafleur in Pomerol, Bordeaux, France. This vintage stands out for its remarkable structure and complexity, earning high praise from reviewers.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it an outstanding score of 99, highlighting it as "one of the wines of the vintage." The review notes its "aromas of cherries, raspberries, kirsch, black truffle, orange zest, and vine smoke," emphasizing its full-bodied and layered character with a "long, saline finish."

Decanter and Jane Anson both rated the wine at 98 points. Decanter describes it as "smooth, supple, and alive in the glass," noting its "energy and brightness" and "seriously elegant, sophisticated and intellectual" profile. Jane Anson praises its "stunning texture" and "pulses of electricity and points of energy," commending the wine for showcasing an "oyster shell salinity" and its ability to illuminate individual flavors.

Jeb Dunnuck also rated the wine at 98 points, describing it as "a powerful, full-bodied, concentrated Lafleur." He notes the wine's "saturated ruby/purple hue" and a "dense, primordial bouquet of red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, iodine, flowers, and crushed stone-like minerality." Dunnuck emphasizes that this vintage is built for long-term aging, suggesting it be "forgotten for a solid decade."

Vinous, while giving a slightly lower score of 96, still recognizes the wine's serious character, describing it as "reserved and moody with quite hefty tannins." The review suggests patience, as it demands "at least another decade in bottle."

Overall, the 2020 Lafleur is a wine of exceptional quality, praised for its complexity, depth, and aging potential, making it a noteworthy addition to any wine collection.
