Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
97 Points - James Suckling
An exceptionally aromatic wine with flowers and berries and hints of minerals. Full-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins. Muscular and powerful. Goes on and on. The finish is lovely. It needs at least five or six years of bottle age.
97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet coloured, the 2009 la Fleur-Pétrus rolls out of the glass with sensuous kirsch, black cherry preserves and chocolate box scents with touches of unsmoked cigars, dried mint and star anise. Full-bodied, rich and opulently fruited in the mouth, it has beautiful red fruit sparks and a finely grained frame, finishing long and lively.
97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Showing consistently with another recent bottle, the 2009 Château La Fleur-Petrus (90/10 Merlot and Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new oak) offers a deep, layered bouquet of blackberries, plums, chocolate, dried flowers, and earth. A prominent, voluptuous, opulent example of this cuvée, with a power-packed, deep, rich style, it has ripe tannin and a huge finish. This tour de force shows how impressive the 2009 vintage was for Bordeaux.
