La Fleur Pétrus 1947 75cl

Eine belgische, unbekannte Händlerabfüllung war untrinkbar. So viel Oxydation hatte ich noch selten für so viel Geld erlebt. Keine Bewertung! 97: Reifendes Granat in der Mitte, am Rand sanft aufhellend. Süsses Bouquet; wirkt noch immer fast rotbeerig und frisch, ausladend, fett, burgundisch. Im Gaumen marmeladiges Extrakt, viel Frucht, geballtes, nach Côte-de-Beaune schmeckendes Finale. austrinken

I would argue that the most exciting wines of the twentieth century are the 1947 Pomerols. Although the 1947s from Petrus and Lafleur (both perfect wines) were not included in the Rodenstock tasting, the wines tasted exemplify the number of exhilarating, decadent, and sumptuous wines produced by this tiny appellation. It is hard to believe a wine I have rated 90 could be embarrassed in the flight in which it appeared, but that can happen, particularly tasting at the pinnacle of quality represented by this flight. The 1947 La Fleur-Petrus revealed a deep ruby/garnet color, a spicy, floral, berry-scented nose, medium body, some of the unctuosity and viscosity expected in a wine from this vintage, and a soft, round, velvety finish. It has long been fully mature, so drink it up.
