La Fleur Pétrus 2000 is a mature, Merlot-dominant Bordeaux from the Pomerol appellation on the region`s Right Bank. La Fleur-Pétrus is one of the most renowned estates in Pomerol and its Grand Vin is without doubt one of the most sought-after from the appellation. The gravel and clay terroir of the plateau of Pomerol provides La Fleur-Pétrus with its seamless combination of silky depth and elegance. Fruit from gravel soils tends to provide the elegance and lifted perfume; fruit from the clay soils the structure and density. On the 2000 grand vin. "This is a wonderful, dense wine, very concentrated, very intensely flavoured. At this stage of its development, it is the opulence which is most evident, but there are already hints that it will show pure fruit alongside sweet tannins, and will develop complexity." Wine Enthusiast, 2003

The 2000 La Fleur-Pétrus is a vintage I have not tasted for a while. This has an intense, enveloping bouquet that wraps its arms around your senses and gives it a gentle cuddle. Minty black fruit, wilted violets and sage emerge with time. The palate is well-defined and structured, displaying a bit more backbone than I recollect on previous bottles. Cedar and graphite impart a nuanced Médocian tang on the finish. Delightful. Probably reaching its peak in the next four to five years. Tasted blind at Medlar restaurant dinner.
