2017 Chateau La Fleur Petrus 1,5 l - Magnum Pomerol AC

Decanter.com – 94 pts – JA: *Deep and concentrated in colour and fruit character. This is pretty closed on the nose compared to some and also a little more about texture and less about fruit on the palate. Subtle, comes into its own with time in the glass and a floral character emerges as it opens, even a little sanguine. This is enjoyable and good quality.* - 11/2020

Falstaff Magazin – 94 pts – PM: *Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung, reife Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Pflaumen und frischen Orangenzesten, zarter Nougattouch im Hintergrund. Saftig, elegant, angenehme Extraktsüße, seidige Tannine, balancierte Säurestruktur, ausgewogen und anhaftend, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial.* - 05/2018

WeinWisser – 19/20 pts – GL, TW: *Dichtes Purpurgranat. Verführerisches Bouquet nach reifen Waldhimbeeren und zartem Veilchenduft. Im zweiten Ansatz heller Tabak, edler Cassiswürze, Kardamom und Ebenholz. Am eleganten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und erhabenem Körper, dabei dicht und mit viel Souplesse. Im aromatischen Finale ein langes Crescendo von blauen Beeren, schwarzem Pfeffer und tiefgründiger Mineralik. Ein absoluter Traum, diese Pomerolschönheit!* – 04/2020

JancisRobinson.com – 17,5+/20pts – TP: *Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Peppery red fruit, blueberry and dried violets with just a hint of spice on the nose. Excellent refinement on the palate. Bursting with energy and silky red fruit, yet tamed by highly refined tannins. Polished aristocracy, bringing the old and new together. Excellent, measured winemaking that makes this seamless and very moreish.* - 09/2021

Vinous.com – 96 pts – AG: *The 2017 Lafleur-Petrus is elegant, polished and wonderfully refined from start to finish. Everything just falls into place effortlessly. Aromatic, sculpted fruit gives the 2017 its sense of regal beauty and total finesse. Beautifully lifted and precise, it is framed by gentle, silky tannins. Small red berries, mint, blood orange, spice and licorice develop in the glass, but it is the wine's cashmere-like softness that impresses most. In 2017 Lafleur-Petrus is a real standout.* - 03/2020

Vinous.com – 94 pts - NM: *The 2017 La Fleur-Pétrus has a very detailed and precise bouquet, retaining the mixture of red and black fruit that it showed out of barrel, developing that faint estuarine/brine scent that lends it personality as it opens in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, light spiced with a sprinkling of cracked black pepper and bay leaf over the persistent finish. This is an excellent Pomerol and it should give at least two decades of drinking pleasure.* 02/2020

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 96 pts – JL: *The combination of the luxuriant velvet texture and the cashmere tannins on the palate is a knock out. The truffle, black raspberry, plum, licorice and cocoa nose is incredibly aromatic. But when you go back for more of those sensuously textured fruits, that is when you know you are squarely in Pomerol.* - 04/2018
