Château La Fleur-Petrus 2012

Exotic and explosive in the glass, the 2012 La Fleur-Pétrus is another standout in the Moueix portfolio. Graphite, smoke, incense and plum are some of the notes that open up in this exquisite bouquet. The 2012 possesses remarkable depth and intensity for the year. Gravel, smoke, sage, wild flowers, game and tobacco add the final shades of nuance on apowerful, virile finish endowed with remarkable salinity and freshness from the Cabernet Franc. Drinking window: 2018-2037. Score – 96. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, July 2015)
