Tasting notes
The 1995 La Fleur-Pétrus is yet another wine from this vintage not encountered for a number of years. It has a lively nose, a little bretty perhaps, yet well defined, with truffle, graphite and sandalwood infusing the red fruit. The palate is rounded on the entry, with good weight in the mouth. The acidity is well judged and, pleasingly, this Pomerol gains weight in the mouth towards the finish. Utterly divine. Tasted at the 1995 Bordeaux off-line at Piccolino in London.

Fragrant and just a little leafy on the nose. Definite and more obvious maturity on the nose than the Angélus. Super-fine texture, dry and fresh and elegant. Succulent and utterly drinkable now. Fine-boned and very long. So much pleasure. (JH)
Blackish ruby. Very round and fresh. Sappy. Racy. Just right now! Long and satisfying. Ink and sweetness. Lovely stuff. Unforced. Biscuity. (JR)
