Performing better from bottle than it did from barrel, this is a classic, elegant La Fleur-Petrus (in contrast to the blockbuster 2006) offering hints of kirsch liqueur, soy, and resiny pine forest notes. Elegant, medium-bodied, fresh, and pure, it is best drunk over the next 14-15 years.
Serious, classically structured wine, with very aromatic, but not overdone cedary oak, good intense, confit fruit and well-handed tannins and acidity. It's not charming or precocious, but dense, serious and structured. 2010-2025
The 2004 La Fleur-Petrus possesses soft notes of licorice, sweet and sour cherries, dried herbs, sweet tannin, and a medium-bodied, elegant style with good purity and overall balance. It should drink nicely for 12-15 years.
