93: Fassprobe (16/20): Würzige Tabaknase, Black Currant, herbal. Im Gaumen erst füllig, dann kräftig zupackend, feine Bitterkeit auf der Zunge. 95: Mittleres Granatrot. Defensives Bouquet mit wenig Ausdruck. Im Gaumen zeigt er ein gewisses Potential an, bringt aber jetzt in der Fruchtphase eher wenig und wirkt hölzern. Ein Wein, der erst in seiner zweiten Lebenshälfte aufblühen wird. Potentialwertung: 16/20 vorbei

It is no secret that the Moueix family has been attempting to elevate the quality of the wine produced at this vineyard that bears the name of two of Pomerol's greatest wines - Lafleur and Petrus. A new cellar has been built, crop thinning is routinely employed, and the age of the vines has become more respectable. Perhaps La Fleur-Petrus will begin to live up to its grandiose name. The excellent 1992 offers a deep ruby/purple color, and a big, sweet, jammy nose of black fruits, caramel and vanillin. Ripe, rich, medium-bodied, with excellent density, this concentrated, elegant yet powerful wine should drink exceptionally well during its first 8-15 years of life.
