    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Opulent and stylish, as are many of the 2005 Pomerols from Jean-Pierre Moueix, this wine is constructed with care over a powerful structure that hints at the power that lies beneath. The fruit is pure, the tannins silky with good mineral intensity, and the whole package is so beautifully wrapped in measured elegance that it will be fascinating to watch the power gradually abate and the fruit develop secondary characters, all arriving in 15 years’ time at a perfect point of sensory equilibrium.

    Medium garnet in color, the 2005 La Fleur-Petrus scoots out of the glass with expressive notes of cigar box, iron ore, and fallen leaves with a beautiful core of dried cherries, prunes, and Chinese five spice. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played, with refreshing red berry and ferrous accents complementing the plum preserves and earthy layers, finishing long and savory.

    The 2005 Lafleur-Pétrus is a bit awkward at first, but then opens nicely with a few hours of air, showing pretty red berry fruit and floral notes, all supported by veins of minerality that give the wine direction and proportion. This stylish Pomerol has plenty to offer in an understated style that is more finesse than power. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later.
