Wine Spectator Review:
Licorice, blackberry, coffee bean and blueberry aromas this gets more complex with every sniff. And what a palate. It's so polished, soft and cuddly. Like curling up in a big cashmere blanket. Full-bodied, yet balanced and fresh. Lots of tannins. But all in harmony. Hidden giant here. Score range 95-98.

Parker Review:
A mind-boggling effort, this is the finest La Fleur Petrus I have ever tasted. Layers and layers of black raspberry and black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, truffles, and earth are found in this dense ruby/purple-colored elixir. With extraordinary purity, decent acidity, melted tannins, and massive fruit along with elegance and precision, it should drink well for three decades or more. It is an amazing effort! Bravo to Christian Moueix and his team.

Other Notes:
This is very ripe with loads of sweet fruit with dark and milk chocolate, berries, but then turns to black olives. Its full and compacted with fabulously fine tannins and a terrific finish. Its subtle and very, very long. Perfection? Try after 2020. James Suckling, 99 points.
