Tasting Notes
Vinous 89
The 2013 La Fleur-Petrus offers light brambly red fruit commingling with tobacco and dried leaves, missing fruit concentration though no greenness is evident. The palate is medium-bodied with light but pliant tannins. Pretty blackberry and raspberry fruit mix with black pepper, clove and meat juices. It has a nice savory finish. This will drink well over the next four to five years. Tasted at Bordeaux Index’s 10-Year On tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2032

The 2013 La Fleur Petrus is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and offers a more enticing bouquet than the Latour-a-Pomerol at this early stage, more depth of fruit on the nose thanks to that pure Merlot: small red cherries, crushed strawberry and just a hint of iodine. The palate is sweet on the entry with crushed red berries, sea salt, bay leaf and a pinch of black pepper. This is well balanced and with more rondeur than the comparatively masculine Latour-a-Pomerol, suave on the finish even if it does not bestow the same complexity as other vintages from this Pomerol estate. Give it just another year in bottle and then it should give 12-15 years drinking pleasure, possibly more.
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2032
