18 Rene Gabriel
01: Tiefdunkles, sattes Purpur. Das Bouquet wirkt noch verschlossen, dafür umso tiefgründiger; reife Waldbeeren, Pflaumen, Trüffelspuren und helle Edelhölzer. Im Gaumen Amarenakirschen, wieder Waldbeeren und ein sattes, aber rundes, ja fast molliges Extrakt zeigend, noch reifeverlangendes, jedoch enggegliedertes Tannin-Säure-Gerüst, langes, klassisches Finale. (18/20). 08: Mitteldunkles Granat. Powervolles Bouquet, viel rote, reife Waldbeeren mit frisch gerösteten Himbeerenkernen, zeigt so bereits in der Nase eine pfeffrige Rasse. Im Gaumen, noch jung, stützende Adstringenz, Muskeln und Tannine die nach mehr Reife verlangen, sehr langes Finale. Noch 5 Jahre Flaschenreife und dann geht es los mit burgundischer Affinität, die sich mit der Kraft des Jahrganges 2000 paart. trinken (2012 - 2028)

I am not convinced the 2000 La Fleur Petrus is going to eclipse the 1998, which performed even better in a recent tasting. Nevertheless, it is a terrific effort from this estate, sandwiched between the hallowed vineyards of Petrus and Lafleur. A deep plum/ruby color is followed by aromas of mocha, kirsch liqueur, loamy soil, spice box, and licorice. It is an opulent, medium to full-bodied, big, substantial yet elegant, precise Pomerol displaying beautiful purity. It is just beginning to drink well, and should continue to age for another 10+ years. One of the two bottles I tasted was corked.

Very silky young red. Bright aromas of pressed flowers and blueberries. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Subtle red. Solid. Needs time. Best after 2010. 3,600 cases made. –JS<br/> <br/>.
Producer
Château La Fleur-Pétrus
This historic château is owned by the Jean-Pierre Moueix family. Planted amongst the finest terroirs in all of Pomerol, Château La Fleur-Pétrus has been a model of consistency for over three decades. During the ‘90s and the first decade of the 21st century, the estate was expanded with the addition of a few precious parcels from Pomerol’s central plateau. This evolution was accompanied by the restoration of an elegant country house, which now houses the production facilities at the heart of Pomerol. Today, Château La Fleur-Pétrus produces one of the most elegant, smooth and refined Pomerols in all of Bordeaux. The Grand Vin is a medium-bodied Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend that with several years of cellaring will become very fine, complex and extraordinarily long-lived.
