Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2022 La Fleur-Petrus has an opulent, ripe bouquet of blackberry, liquorice and brown spices, with a little heady alcohol here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and rounded tannins, quite plush, and there is a veneer of dark chocolate towards the finish. Quite modern in style, but it pulls it off with flair. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Mid crimson. A little bit of damp fur on the nose but not oxidised. Very sweet. Not the most refreshing. (JR)
