2005 Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Pomerol 1x750ml

Vinous 90

The 2005 La Fleur is a virile wine with a blast of dark fruit and equally imposing tannin. Inky red fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, leather and new oak all rush through to the finish. This big, opulent Saint-Emilion has a ton to offer, but be warned, it is not exactly subtle. [Antonio Galloni, 15/04/2021]

Abundant sweet cherry and truffle, new saddle leather and spice box notes are present in this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, silky Pomerol. It is less concentrated than some of the big boys such as Gazin, Le Gay, L’Evangile and Certan de May, but it is an elegant, finesse style of wine to drink over the next 10-15 years. [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 21/06/2015]
