Tasting Notes

Vinous 93

The 2014 La Fleur-Petrus has a bright, appealing nose that is not dissimilar to L’Eglise-Clinet: red berry fruit, marmalade, cedar, just a dab of aniseed, all well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and well-judged acidity that imparts tension. White pepper and cinnamon complement the savory red fruit towards the finish. This is perfect to drink now but will last a few more years. N.B. Another bottle tasted blind feels just a little Bretty. Tasted at Bordeaux Index’s 10-Year-On tasting. [Neal Martin, 19/03/2024]

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 mineralite 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. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
