Critics Scores
Decanter
Powerful with touches of truffle, chocolate, slate, crushed stone, damson puree and licorice. I love this, totally appealing and still with tannic grip and a gorgeous wash of mint through the finish. Very much in an appealingly open phase and ready to go. Drinking Window 2021 - 2036
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The stunning 2012 La Fleur Petrus clearly merits its striking moniker. A blend of 90 Merlot and 10 Cabernet Franc, it offers a dense purple color along with a big, sweet kiss of mulberry jam intermixed with black cherries, raspberries and even blacker fruits as well as a subtle touch of oak. The wine is full, rich, concentrated and moderately tannic. It is nearly as good as the 2010 and 2009. However, some structural tannins suggest 4-5 years of bottle age will be warranted, and the wine is capable of lasting a quarter of a century.
Wine Enthusiast
The neighbor of Pétrus, La Fleur-Pétrus is darkly tannic, rich, spicy and powerful. It's rich—touched by wood and black plum skins—and intently structured for long-term aging.
