Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Great charm for this silky wine with delicious touches of violet and black pepper, which open up at the back, making for one of the most beautiful finishes of the vintage. | 95–96

Michael Schuster | Dense and sweetly ripe to smell; rich, fleshy, fresh, finely and firmly tannic; succulently fruited, long, sappy, complex, mouthcoating, and satisfying, with a great richness and density, a clear underlying minerality to taste, and very fine aromatic length.An impressively complete La Fleur-Pétrus of considerable substance, gently muscular, impressively complete and very satisfying. A long-term expression of the cru, which will need a minimum of a decade, but should then give huge pleasure over several more. 2030–50. | 93–95
