The wine is deep and rich, with a colour that is a deep ruby/plum/purple. The bouquet is tight but promising, with hints of vanilla, cherry liqueur, melted licorice, black currants, truffles, and earth. The wine is rich and full-bodied, with plenty of structure underlying the fruit and extract. The wine is surprisingly thick and intense, making it one of the most concentrated of the vintage.
The magnum bottle size of the Château La Fleur Petrus Pomerol Grand Vin 1.5L 2001 provides several benefits. The larger bottle size allows for slower aging and maturation of the wine, resulting in a more balanced and complex flavour. Additionally, the larger size makes for an impressive appearance when presenting the wine at dinner parties or other special occasions. Overall, the Château La Fleur Petrus Pomerol Grand Vin Magnum 1.5L 2001 is a highly sought-after wine that promises to be one of the longest-lived and most concentrated of the vintage. It is recommended to give it 3-6 years of cellaring and to drink it over the following two decades.
