18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Frisches Bouquet mit vielen, feinen Schichten, ein Hauch Cassis, ein Hauch Brombeeren, dann florale Züge und auch eine minime, wirklich nur minime, süss-dropsige Note im zweiten Ansatz zeigend. Im Gaumen weit ausgelegt, saftig und mit genialer Balance, das Finale ist dann wieder würzig und zeigt Lakritze, etwas Sommertrüffel und wieder viel frische, blaubeerige Frucht. Genial vinifiziert und mit qualitativem Spassfaktor.

This has a fleshy feel and a solid core of dark plum, fig and blackberry compote flavors. A strong charcoal spine adds texture on the finish, while black tea, menthol, bay and warm stone notes cruise through for added range. Has heft and will need some time. Best from 2020 through 2035.—J.M
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.
