Tasting Notes 1: Stephen Tanzer-89-92-Red-ruby. Reticent aromas of dark berries, spices, licorice and menthol. Then almost shockingly supple, ripe and layered, with unexpected fullness and a sweet, gentle character. This is harmonious from the outset. Not at all a powerful style, but silky and suave. And nicely sweet on the back end, with the tannins arriving late.
Tasting Notes 2: Neal Martin-93-Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Chateau La Fleur-Petrus has a fragrant, crushed rose petal bouquet mixed with raspberry coulis and wild strawberry scents, the oak beautifully assimilated and demonstrating fine precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, bright blueberry and black plum notes mixed with cedar and minerals towards the finish. This is turning into a tres bon vin! Tasted January 2016.
Tasting Notes 3: Tasted blind. Very evolved rim. Attractively evolved, well-knit nose. Round and yet with some freshness. Quite flattering. Appetising. Very mineral.
