Chateau La Fleur De Bouard (Lalande de Pomerol) 2018 Red 750ml

James Suckling 93

The  La Fleur de Boüard is blended of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc  and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color  and is a little youthfully reticent to begin, giving way to provocative  crushed rocks, tilled soil, mossy bark and cigar box scents over a core  of blueberry compote, black raspberries and blackberry pie with a waft  of dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the earth-laced palate is  positively charged with energy, framed by very fine-grained tannins and  wonderful freshness, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
