Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate December - 2018
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Opaque purple-black coloured, the 2016 Petrus slips effortlessly out of the glass with sanguine, seductive notes of kirsch, warm black plums, blueberry compote, red roses, Ceylon tea, violets, dark chocolate-covered cherries, liquorice and cinnamon stick with wafts of iron ore, pencil lead, unsmoked cigars and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, profound and absolutely edifying on the palate, the densely packed, beautifully perfumed red and blue fruit layers possess a charge like defibrillators stimulating your heart to beat faster, each delivering achingly subtle floral and spice sparks, perfectly framed by very firm, very grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with incredible length and taking you to depths that extend to a provocative ferrous undercurrent. Stunning.

Deep ruby in colour, here you find truffle, dark chocolate, coffee bean, cigar box, black cherry and dark plums. Full bodied, elegant, velvety, opulent, sweet and fresh, the presence on the palate is silk and velvet in the texture with purity and sweetness to the fruits. The wine is hedonistic as well as intellectual, and a little bit firm. There is serious ageing potential. The wine really sticks with you, for over 60 seconds in the finish.

Tasted blind. Not the deepest colour. Lively and with great aplomb. Masses of tannin just overlaid with spicy, exciting fruit. Very pure and rich. Long.

The nose is intoxicating on the Petrus this year - open, sweet, filled with ripe plums and spices. This is one of the best vintages of Petrus with balance, finesse, firm tannins and lovely flavours. There is delicacy as well as power and intensity. Very long finish. There is a mix of dark and red fruits as well as good freshness.

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate brightening at the rim. Intense dark berry fruit, a hint of liquorice, lingonberry and fresh orange peel notes as well as a subtle oak base. Elegant, juicy, ripe cherry, decisive freshness, powerful tannins, but not aggressive, fine red forest fruit preserve, pleasant minerality and hearty finish. A very precise wine of great vibrancy and length with impressive ageing potential.

Petrus

Petrus is one of the most iconic and most sought-after wines of the Pomerol appellation, occupying a unique place in the Bordeaux wine landscape. Unlike the grands crus classés of the Médoc, Pomerol has no official classification, yet Pétrus has established itself over time as the absolute reference of the appellation, recognised for the singularity of its terroir and the exceptional consistency of its wines.

The Petrus vineyard rests on a unique plateau of ferruginous clay soils, dominated by a high proportion of blue clay, rare in Bordeaux. This terroir gives the wines a dense structure, remarkable depth and an immediately recognisable identity. The grape variety used is almost exclusively Merlot, a variety that finds here an expression of rare intensity.

The international renown of Petrus was built during the 20th century, notably under the influence of key figures who shaped its style and reputation. The wines of Pétrus are distinguished by their richness, their silky texture and their exceptional ageing potential. Among the iconic vintages: 1961 wine, 1982 vintage, the mythical 1989, Petrus 1990, 2000, Petrus 2016, 2017 wine, regularly cited among the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
