2001 Chateau La Fleur Petrus - Pomerol - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

Parker points (Robert Parker Jr Wine Advocate #153 June 2004) : 90 Tasting notes Neal Martin (Wine Journal Nov 2010) Notes of blackberry, dusty antique shop, gravel and field mushroom. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshier entry than Latour-a-Pomerol, lovely grainy texture with pure red-berried fruit, touches of chestnut, mushroom and a little thyme. Nice focus and tension, the finish is better than the nose suggests. Good weight and tannic presence on the finish, with a bitter note of dried orange peel that dries out the mouth and curses you for not taking another sip sooner. Very fine. Drink 2012-2025. Tasted May 2009.
