Château La Fleur-Pétrus
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Something had to be off here, unbelievable disappointment. I called this blind as cru bourgeois. Must be in an omega dumb phase, extreme reduced nose of minerals, plums and faint spice, and that's it. Mineral, elegant palate but finished quite short and seriously lacking flavor concentration and definition, and impact. I've had many a shut down wine, but this showed nothing at all, and was blown out by far less regarded wines at the table...2005 vintage

Aug 3rd, 2018Drank the 2005. Great year as you all know. It will mature a bit more the next ten years. I still have two more bottles. Keeping them with a sturdy lock!
