Wine Spectator: 93 Points
"This wine starts out very tight with fresh herb and tobacco character but then it opens to ripe plum berry and chocolate character. Full-bodied with silky tannins and a long caressing finish. Impressive. Lafleur is always outstanding. Best after 2009. 1000 cases made."
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
"Performing slightly less impressively from bottle than it did from cask this wine???s Cabernet Franc element has come forward revealing a distinctive herbal bell pepper vegetal character that kept my score from going higher. Nevertheless there is plenty to like about this 2001 Pomerol. It possesses a saturated ruby/purple color powerful aromas (kirsch liqueur raspberries and blackberries) an earthy muscular chunky character and the most tannic personality of any Pomerol I tasted. While not the huge blockbuster Lafleur can often produce it is well-built. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019."
