Note di degustazione
The 2015 La Fleur-Pétrus is quite mature on the nose, more so than I anticipated, though it's still attractive with slightly smudged redcurrant, raspberry and truffle scents. There is perhaps just a touch of Brett. The palate is medium-bodied and quite ferrous. It's savory in style and coheres beautifully towards the chocolaty finish. I suspect that another bottle would have a superior nose because the palate is superb. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index.

White pepper, cumin, sandalwood, sage, plenty of creamy raspberry and lush damson fruit, great quality and enjoyable. The definition and expression of La Fleur-Pétrus was evolving at this point, with a reworking of the vineyards, and it's a vintage that showcases the growing the ambition of this estate. Great stuff. 50% new oak.
You could be nowhere but Pomerol with this wine. Succulent black cherry fruits, slightest hint of bricking around the edges, smudge of tobacco and raspberry fruit flavours. This needs a few more years, but you could just about get away with drinking it now with a good few hours in a carafe. 50% new oak.
The 2015 La Fleur-Pétrus has a very intense bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, truffle and smoke, quite decadent and yet retaining satisfying delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, gentle grip with a dash of white pepper toward the persistent finish. This is suave and sophisticated - superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
