Tasting Notes

The 2007 La Fleur Petrus has been an impressive Pomerol in recent showings. This one does nothing to alter that view. It has plenty of energy on the nose with great delineation: cranberry, pomegranate, singed leather and a touch of melted tar, firmly moving into secondary territory. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure, still quite tight but with a keen line of acidity and plenty of truffle-infused, black, dusky fruit on the finish. Great wine in an off-vintage. Tasted February 2017.

Score: 92

One of the stars of the vintage, this deep plum/ruby-tinged 2007 offers a big, sweet kiss of black cherries, blackberries, licorice, and earth. Round, generous, and medium-bodied with an intensity of flavor and silkiness that are endearing, it should drink nicely for a decade or more.

Score: 90

Berry and milk chocolate aromas follow through to a medium-to-full body, with pretty fruit and a medium finish. Silky and refined. Balanced and harmonious. Best after 2012. 3,165 cases made.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2012+ 31 March 2010

Ruby-red. Peppery aromas of black fruits and licorice. Juicy and light on its feet, with good grip and floral lift to the dark berry flavors. There's a slight herbal astringence lurking but this offers good intensity and energy, and finishes with very good persistence.

Score: 87 - 90

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 2008

Mid crimson. Lightly scented. Fruit still quite raw. Very edgy with some green notes. Pretty astringent at this point. Difficult to see how this is going to become a swan.

Score: 15 - 16
