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.

Falstaff June - 2017

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.

The Petrus estate takes its name from the locality "Petrus". Its history is recent, yet this wine is already a legend. Throughout the 19th century, the estate belonged to the Arnaud family. From 1925, a woman from Libourne, Madame Loubat, acquired shares in the property. About twenty years later, she became the sole owner. Not accepting or understanding why Médoc wines were selling for higher prices than those from Pomerol, particularly her own, she did everything to make the most of such promising terroir. In a few decades, the myth was born. In 1961, Madame Lacoste and Monsieur Lignac, niece and nephew of Madame Loubat, inherited the estate. The vineyard is situated on the highest hill of the appellation, reaching an altitude of 40 metres. The soil, composed mainly of clay, is well-suited to Merlot, which makes up 95% of the grape varieties. The 12 hectares of the estate are subject to constant work and permanent attention to detail. Pétrus is considered a wine that is more accessible for tasting than some of its illustrious counterparts.
