Note di degustazione
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.

Better than when we tasted it in barrel. Attractive leather, berry and light plum aromas and flavors, subtle, complex palate and light body.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1995
