Medium garnet in color, the 2005 La Fleur-Petrus scoots out of the glass with expressive notes of cigar box, iron ore, and fallen leaves with a beautiful core of dried cherries, prunes, and Chinese five spice. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played, with refreshing red berry and ferrous accents complementing the plum preserves and earthy layers, finishing long and savory.
