Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2022 – Pomerol

The nose is elegant, subtle, intense and delicate at the same time, with a striking depth and harmonious complexity. We perceive notes of bright blackcurrant, violet and, more discreetly, a racy minerality. These aromas associated with touches of small bright red fruits, as well as hints of licorice stick, bourbon vanilla and a subtle note of nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is elegant, supple and sumptuous, with a delicacy and an airy freshness. Its depth and smoothness are expressed with finesse and freshness, while a lovely airy and melodious side unfolds. We find notes of boysenberry, creamy blackcurrant, violet and blueberry, associated with touches of cornflower, lilac, as well as hints of licorice stick, graphene and discreet nuances of toast and caramel. A touch of vanilla is also felt.
What a touch! A velvety texture, both creamy and airy, with great freshness and a beautiful burst of fruit. The tannins are creamy and gourmand. Sumptuous.
