Beschreibung

Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2009

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. Mit angenehmer Edelholzwürze unterlegtes dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, feiner Nougat, zart nach Orangenzesten, vielschichtig und einladend. Komplex, stoffig, süße dunkle Beerenfrucht, mineralisch, feine Tannine, finessenreich strukturiert und frisch, süße Kirschen im Abgang, wirkt sehr elegant, bleibt lange haften, ein finessenreicher Pomerol für besondere Stunden.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Even with considerable youthful characteristics, this stunning, open-knit 2009 is quite approachable. This fabled terroir sandwiched between Petrus and Lafleur (hence the name) generally produces one of the more elegantly-styled Pomerols, but in 2009 it offers an extra dimension of flavor intensity as well as more texture and concentration. It reveals a super-seductive perfume of mocha, loamy soil, herbs, black cherries and black currants, truffles and licorice, full body and velvety tannins. The overall impression is one of intensity, power, glycerin and richness as well as undeniable elegance and laser-like focus. This 2009 can be drunk now or cellared for another 25-30+ years.

Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Hard to find the start and finish here, as the layers of boysenberry, raspberry and plum compote are seamless and incredibly long. Really spherical in feel, with flecks of bergamot, blood orange and iron on the surface and full fruit underneath. The grip that showed on release has been fully absorbed, and I doubt this will ever shut down. This has fruit to burn, but is conserving itself on cruise control rather than turning bombastic.
