The years have been kind here. On the nose you find rises, chocolate, licorice, truffle, plums and black cherries. Silky, and sensuous on the palate, there is a wealth of ripe, slightly fiend fruits that linger. Drink from 2024-2040.

This is a wonderful, dense wine, very concentrated, very intensely flavored. At this stage of its development, it is the opulence which is most evident, but there are already hints that it will show pure fruit alongside sweet tannins, and will develop complexity.

A delicious nose of black olives, brown sugar, and sliced plums. Full bodied but shy, with a dense palate and soft and silky tannins. Flavors of milk chocolate, plums, and light vanilla bean come through. This is so good now, but wait three to four years to really see it shine. Find the wine.

I am not convinced the 2000 La Fleur Petrus is going to eclipse the 1998, which performed even better in a recent tasting. Nevertheless, it is a terrific effort from this estate, sandwiched between the hallowed vineyards of Petrus and Lafleur. A deep plum/ruby color is followed by aromas of mocha, kirsch liqueur, loamy soil, spice box, and licorice. It is an opulent, medium to full-bodied, big, substantial yet elegant, precise Pomerol displaying beautiful purity. It is just beginning to drink well, and should continue to age for another 10+ years. One of the two bottles I tasted was corked. 93+ - Robert Parker

The 2000 La Fleur-Pétrus is a vintage I have not tasted for a while. This has an intense, enveloping bouquet that wraps its arms around your senses and gives it a gentle cuddle. Minty black fruit, wilted violets and sage emerge with time. The palate is well-defined and structured, displaying a bit more backbone than I recollect on previous bottles. Cedar and graphite impart a nuanced Médocian tang on the finish. Delightful. Probably reaching its peak in the next four to five years. Tasted blind at Medlar restaurant dinner. -- Neal Martin

As in the blind tasting, a tobacco leaf hint and singed balsam elements emerge first, followed by a large core of warmed plum and blackberry. Dark in profile, with plum cake and ganache lining the finish, revealing a hint of smoldering charcoal. Still needs a bit of time to stretch out.—Non-blind La Fleur-Pétrus vertical (December 2015). Best from 2018 through 2028. 3,600 cases made.
