BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. Sweet, fresh, and lively: ample cherry and elderberry fruit. This even has a zingy charm, and there is no trace of greenness or herbaceousness. Impressive work here. On the palate, the wine is deep, round, vivid, and well-judged, without excessively crunchy tannins and without tyrannical acidity, either; it has some muted sweetness and warmth in the central palate, just helping to fill out the cool freshness. A very good effort from the Fleur-Pétrus team. Now to 2024. 90

Stephen Brook: Slight raspberry nose but not green. Mediumbodied, silky, and elegant, this shows intensity of fruit rather than weight. But it is well balanced and quite concentrated, with no excessive extraction. Quite good acidity and length. 91
