Lot 22 Details
CHÂTEAU LA FLEUR-PÉTRUS 2014

Pomerol.
u. 5 x bn. 1 x marked label.

The 2014 La Fleur Petrus is impressive out of barrel and it continues to evince quality now in bottle. It has a lovely, engaging bouquet with vivacious redcurrant and cranberry fruit, superb mineralité and energy, real focus and a sense of drive in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a sense of symmetry and poise from start to finish. It has perhaps turned into a slightly more elegant and feminine wine than I anticipated, less bullish than the Hosanna. But there is real complexity on the finish with black pepper and clove lingering on the aftertaste. This is superb. March 2017 Drink: 2020-2045 WA 94

5 bts.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200
