  • What the experts say...

    Bien moins concentré que le 1989, le 1990 de La Fleur-Pétrus dégage un bouquet de tabac, de café, de moka et de fruits rouges entremêlé de senteurs de chêne neuf. Moyennement corsé et modérément doté, il présente une bouche admirable de pureté, bien étayée par une heureuse acidité et par des tannins modérés - ce qui est rare dans ce millésime -.

    The wine

    La Fleur Petrus is appreciated for its elegance and supple, suave, silky character. This is a wine with that astonishing mouthfeel so characteristic of Pomerol: an indescribable velvetiness. La Fleur Petrus needs between 10 and 30 years' cellaring before reaching its full potential.
