Château La Fleur Petrus - Pomerol 2005

Wine Advocate

Abundant sweet cherry and truffle, new saddle leather and spice box notes are present in this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, silky Pomerol. It is less concentrated than some of the big boys such as Gazin, Le Gay, L’Evangile and Certan de May, but it is an elegant, finesse style of wine to drink over the next 10-15 years.

Les saveurs de terre se concentrent et allongent une bouche qui reste d'une grande finesse bien que serrée et encore sur son acidité. Potentiel d'au moins dix ans.

Tasted single blind at Southwold. A superb showing for this oft-overlooked Pomerol. It appears to have closed down on the nose, introverted black berries, loganberry, graphite and sous-bois, but it seems so natural with superb definition. Medium-bodied, full of spicy cranberry and blackberry fruit; becoming earthy, almost animally with black pepper towards the finish. Wonderful elegance and poise – quintessential Pomerol in all its unfettered glory! Drink 2012-2025+ Tasted January 2009,

Bien charpenté, robuste et dense, mûr, mais sans excès en alcool - oui, nous aimons ça: 2010 à 2018.

Bright full red. Complex, subtle aromas of red fruits, pungent minerals, flowers, licorice and fresh herbs. Sweet, dense and nicely focused, with a sappy, medicinal quality to the dark fruit and mineral flavors. Finishes broad and vibrant if a bit youthfully wound up. This is built to age. 92(+?)

As one might expect from the Moueix family, this is a classic, traditionally styled Bordeaux exhibiting a deep ruby color, medium body, and a sweet perfume of licorice and kirsch that are reminiscent of a Grenache-based wine from the southern Rhone. However, its elegance, freshness, and high but sweet tannin are unmistakably Bordeaux in style. This 2005 should round into shape in 5-8 years, and keep for a minimum of two decades.

Très ouvert et flatteur, magnifique rondeur de bouche, tanins très enrobés et suaves. Fruit éclatant, presque exubérant, finale explosive. très beau gras, grande profondeur de bouche.

Made in Pomerol’s quintessentially elegant style, this 2005 reveals pure raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with spice box, cedar, and licorice. With superb purity, medium body, and stunning concentration, 3-4 years of cellaring will be beneficial, and it should last for 15+.

Extravagant aromas of crushed fruit and flowers. Almost like a young Port. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a soft and silky tannin structure. Very fine. —J.S.
