Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-89)Redcurrant, minerals and spice on the nose. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, with cooler, rather muscular flavors of kirsch, minerals, mint and shoe polish. Quite tight today, and not yet showing much fat or personality, but has the structure and guts to develop in bottle. Finishes firmly tannic. |

Wine Spectator (98)Fabulous aromas of crushed berries, black olives, flint and grilled meat. Yet it's subtle. Full-bodied, with superbly refined tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes. Superb. Racy. Exciting. Best after 2012. |

Wine Spectator (94)A lovely example of just how pitch-perfect this vintage is now, with caressing raspberry and plum confiture flavors allied to an impressive structure, albeit smaller-scaled than '01, '00 and other denser years. Refined through the finish, with a fine gilding of warm tobacco and black tea notes. Pretty irresistible now and should cruise nicely for a while.--Non-blind La Fleur-Pétrus vertical (December 2015). Drink now through 2030. 3,500 cases made. |

Wine Advocate (92)Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 La Fleur Petrus has been an impressive Pomerol in recent showings. This one does nothing to alter that view. It has plenty of energy on the nose with great delineation: cranberry, pomegranate, singed leather and a touch of melted tar, firmly moving into secondary territory. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure, still quite tight but with a keen line of acidity and plenty of truffle-infused, black, dusky fruit on the finish. Great wine in an off-vintage. Tasted February 2017. |

The Wine Cellar Insider (98)This just keeps getting better and better. Splash decanted, this was a rockstar from the start. But 30 minutes later and it was really off to the races. The decadent texture is a show stopper. The fruit is polished velvet. There is a purity and symmetry to the wine that is impossible to miss. As it developed, notes of lilac, violets and chocolate emerged. And as hard as it is to believe, the wine gained in opulence. If you are a fan of Pomerol at its most decadent, and if you have the coin to spare, this is a future legend waiting in the wings. |

James Suckling (98-99)What a complex nose of dark fruits, truffles and wet earth. Fascinating. Full, yet super long with ultra refined tannins and a long, long finish. It is tannic and muscular but polished and reserved. It's a wine with refinement and power. |

Wine Spectator (93)Very restrained today, with singed balsa wood and incense notes that lend a perfumy edge. The core of dark plum and red currant fruit waits in reserve, while hints of alder and mesquite grace the finish. This should deliver some wonderful aromatics when the fruit fills out and meshes with the structure. Drink now through 2017. 4,125 cases made. -JM |
