Much more sweet fruit than others with honeysuckle perfume. Fascinating. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and a super finish of ripe-strawberry character. Yet everything’s always in check and class. Give it five or six years of bottle to see its true greatness.

This is a wine with great balance and elegance as well as richness. With layers of fine dusty tannins it has a warm character that is repeated in the perfumed fruit and juicy acidity. The wine is impressive, likely to age well. Drink from 2024.

The 2014 La Fleur Petrus is impressive out of barrel and it continues to evince quality now in bottle. It has a lovely, engaging bouquet with vivacious redcurrant and cranberry fruit, superb mineralité and energy, real focus and a sense of drive in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a sense of symmetry and poise from start to finish. It has perhaps turned into a slightly more elegant and feminine wine than I anticipated, less bullish than the Hosanna. But there is real complexity on the finish with black pepper and clove lingering on the aftertaste. This is superb. - Neal Martin

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.

Love the caressing, grilled soot and campfire of this, a litlte more intrusive on these notes than you would find in La Fleur Pétrus today perhaps, buts it is backed up by rich fruits, blackberry, lemongrass, smoked earth, good balance and a ton of appellation typicity. 50% new oak.

Showing well, the 2014 Château La Fleur-Pétrus is round and layered, with lots of truffly, floral notes as well as fine tannins on the palate. Medium-bodied and elegant, it has a seamless, supple mouthfeel and a refined, pretty style best enjoyed over the coming 12-15 years.

The 2014 La Fleur-Pétrus has a bright, appealing nose that is not dissimilar to L'Eglise-Clinet: red berry fruit, marmalade, cedar, just a dab of aniseed, all well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and well-judged acidity that imparts tension. White pepper and cinnamon complement the savory red fruit towards the finish. This is perfect to drink now but will last a few more years. N.B. Another bottle tasted blind feels just a little Bretty. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting. -- Neal Martin

Now an 18.7ha estate with three parcels on the plateau. Ripe, red fruit aromatics. Generous fruit on the palate, lush and opulent but fresh as well. Long, fine tannic finish. Lovely weight and frame. Classic elegance but generous and seductive as well.
