Lafleur Les Pensées de Lafleur 2018

Supple and inviting, the 2018 Les Pensées shows the Merlot component beautifully. Plump red fruit flows with gorgeous immediacy and charm. The texture is all about finesse here, with silky tannins that caress rather than grip. Underneath the approachable exterior lies solid structure that should allow this to develop gracefully over the next decade.
