CHATEAU LA FLEUR-PETRUS, 2008

POMEROL

All wines of CHATEAU LA FLEUR-PETRUS - All wines of Bordeaux - All wines
" Grand vin "surprise" du millésime, le La Fleur-Pétrus 2008 (90 % Merlot et 10 % Cabernet Franc) est un vin remarquablement séducteur et opulent, qui dépasse les attentes liées au caractère du millésime. Sa robe dense, aux reflets prune, rubis et pourpre, dévoile des arômes de cerises noires mûres, de réglisse, de truffe et une légère touche de graphite. Ample et généreux en bouche, il présente des tannins soyeux et une remarquable richesse, pureté et longueur, avec une finale persistante de plus de 40 secondes. Un excellent achat pour ce millésime, à déguster sur les 20 prochaines années, voire plus. " - Robert Parker
