95-98 Parker: "From a 5-acre parcel cropped at 20 hectoliters per hectare, the 2009 La Plus La Fleur de Bouard (400-500 cases of 100% Merlot) boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of incense, graphite, blueberries, blackberries, ink, and spring flowers, awesome concentration, and sweet tannins. This is an enormously endowed, multi-layered effort of extraordinary intensity and length. It is a reference point for what can be achieved by a wine visionary in an appellation with little prestige. It should drink well for 20-25 years. (Tasted three times.)
Unquestionably a star of Lalande de Pomerol is the 50-acre estate of Hubert and Corinne de Bouard, who produce wines that fly well above their pedigree. Tasting through older vintages proves that these are the "real deal," as they age quite well. One can even argue that the luxury cuvee, La Plus de la Fleur de Bouard, is one of the top twenty wines being produced in Bordeaux - a remarkable achievement given the appellation's lack of status."
19/20 Weinwisser: "Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila Reflexen. Wuchtiges Bouquet, Cassisnoten und süsses Pflaumenkompott, darunter Lakritze, Brazil-Tabak, Korinthen und Rauch. Am Gaumen fleischig wie nie, viel Muskeln, umfassende, verlangende Adstringenz, Amarenakirschen und junger Vintage Port im bombigen Finale. Lalande-de-Pomerol-Droge! Vielleicht schliesst er einmal zum legendären 2000er auf? Dann kann er die Maximalwertung erreichen."
