Thanks for the notes, Winesense. I really enjoyed the 2000 La Fleur when it was young. I'm sure we're talking about the same wine because you mentioned the value aspect. That's a pretty high score you gave. I'll have to keep my eye out for it.

Yes, I bought a case myself. I love complex aroma more than strengh. My feeling is, that as fruity the wine would be currently, it got still many subtle aspect that will develop with age. I remember the 2004 improved substancially. I blindtasted it alongside with some big names (Angelus, Figeac).
In case of the 2006 I tried it right after Ausone as comparison.
