  July 15, 2009 - decanted for an hour or two. purple color, still dense. on the nose i got a lot of tobacco leaf, some dried leaves, coffee grinds and, beneath it all, there was this sweet, stewed fruit thing. i loved the nose. still dense with tannins. lots of tobacco flavors, earth, cassis, toast and some dried leaves on the finish. over time the stewed fruit/compote flavors came out a bit more. good basic bordeaux that had more complexity than i was expecting.

  December 14, 2006 - I had liked this in a restaurant from 375, but this 750 bottle seemed a bit thin. Moderate fruit, balanced acidity, light tannins, but not much depth or finish

  September 1, 2006 - (at Landmarc) I opted for a Bordeaux to match her steak. I got a wine I'd never heard of, the 2001 Ch. La Fleur Peyrabon (Pauillac). Accessible dark berry fruit, soft ripe tannins, some acidity. Nice mouthfeel. A bit of graphite with the finish quite minerally. Not an extraordinary Bordeaux by any means, it could use a bit more body, but a decent deal at a restaurant price of I think $23 for the 375. When ordering I wondered if this was the second wine of Peyrabon, then realized Peyrabon is Haut-Medoc, not Pauillac. I probably liked this as much as the 2001 Lynch-Bages
