ANSON: "Gently toasted cedar and sandalwood, violet, lilac, powdery rose, plush fruits, savoury in the spirit of the vintage but with texture and even generosity, and velvety tannins. A great job from La Fleur-Petrus, seriously impressive and one to look out for - my wine of the Moueix stable in 2024. 50% new oak. Harvest 17 to 28 September, no chaptilisation, around 20% down on yield from a usual year."

VINUM: "Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot; offen und komplex im Duft, feine Würze, Zimt und Kümmel, dunkle Beeren, Pflaumen, florale Noten; am Gaumen elegant, noch vom Ausbau geprägt, delikate, reife Frucht, seidige Tannine, der Wein baut Druck auf, bleibt dabei elegant, würzig, dunkelfruchtig, äusserst ausgewogen. Hat nicht ganz das Niveau der top Jahre, wird dafür früh Spass bereiten."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Lakritze, floraler Touch, schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Zwetschken, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, straff, rote KIrschen, frische Säurestruktur, rotbeerige Nuancen auch im Abgang, salziger Nachhall. Wird von Flaschenreife profitieren."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "On the floral side, with chocolate-coated black raspberries, espresso, and cherry aromatics that are all over the place. Soft, and refined, the fruits are sweet, and polished, with more of those chocolatey black raspberries in the vibrant finish. You can enjoy this with pleasure with only a few years in the cellar. But give it a few more years if you want all those secondary notes to develop, and this will be just great in your glass. The wine blends 99.5% Merlot, and .05 Petit Verdot. The harvest took place September 17 - September 28. Drink from 2029-2045."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Aromas of creamy dark berries, fruitcake and chocolate introduce the 2024 La Fleur-Pétrus, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple wine that's rich and creamy, with good depth at the core and soft structuring tannins."
