Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate February - 2023
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Petrus has retained its opaque purple-black colour after bottling, foreshadowing the seemingly frozen-in-time glacial pace at which this wine is proceeding. It opens very reluctantly, requiring considerable air with vigorous swirling and doggedly demands a few hours before it offers glimpses at this slumbering giant of a wine. As it eventually unfurls, it slowly morphs into a powerful, fantastically pure nose of preserved plums, blackberry preserves and blueberry compote, followed by nuances of molten liquorice, dark chocolate, black truffles, iron ore and, still later, floral notions of lilacs and rose oil come through. The full-bodied palate is taut, muscular and oh-so-tightly wound at this stage, revealing peeks at many, many layers of perfectly ripe black and blue fruits, exotic spices and earthy notions for which words simply fail. The texture is at once rock solid and fantastically plush, with impeccably knit freshness, finishing so long you really can't taste or think of anything else for the rest of the day. Here is a heart-stopping titan that puts paid to all those naysayers who contest that perfection in wine cannot exist. It will require a good 8-10 years to hit its stride, then it is very likely to outlive us all, but you will want to make certain you drink this one before you go.

Jean-Marc Quarin February - 2022
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark, intense, purple colour, beautiful and deep. Very aromatic nose, fine, subtle, noble and complex, with that slight fine richness that evokes blackberry jelly. Mellow on the palate entry, particularly aromatic in the middle, with a fine richness, the wine advances gently, glides, melts, complex, deep and noble. Right at the finish remains a touch of legitimate austerity that evokes clay. Very aerial behaviour. Note that decanting brings nothing to it except to magnify a tactile behaviour comparable to that of a great dry white wine. Alcohol content: 14.7° which is not noticeable. Ageing: 50% new wood. Duration: 16 months.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider April - 2019
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
The colour of the ancient and priceless Sunrise Ruby replete with ornate reflections of royal purple, this wine moves you. Its perfume begins with a lightning bolt of flowers, cocoa, truffle, liquorice, black cherry and even blacker plums. On the palate, the wine is extraordinarily concentrated. The fruit tastes and feels darker than usual with more command, opulence, depth and length. The flavours are expansive, moving from plummy mid-palate to a spicy, liquorice, dark chocolate, mint and kirschwasser finish that remains with you for well over 60 seconds!

97–99. Barrel Sample. This is a dark, serious wine, concentrated with richness and freshness at the same time. The ripe tannins are impeccably balanced by fine acidity and a ripe blackberry flavour. It shows the supreme quality of Pomerol's Merlots in this vintage. Of course, it will age for nearly forever. Roger Voss

Falstaff May - 2019

Deep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle brightening at the rim. Multifaceted bouquet with intense dark berry fruit, a hint of sweet spices, some nougat and orange peel. Powerfully fruity, ripe plum, black cherry, velvety tannins, very good freshness with a hint of chocolate on the finish, mineral and long-lasting on the palate.

Petrus

Petrus is one of the most emblematic and sought-after wines of the Pomerol appellation, occupying a special place in the Bordeaux wine landscape. Unlike the grands crus classés of the Médoc, Pomerol has no official classification, but Pétrus has established itself over time as the absolute reference of the appellation, recognised for the uniqueness 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 is almost exclusively composed of Merlot, a grape which finds here an expression of rare intensity.

The international renown of Petrus was built in the 20th century, notably under the impetus of remarkable figures who shaped its style and reputation. Petrus wines are distinguished by their richness, silky texture and exceptional aging potential. Among the emblematic vintages Petrus 1961, Petrus 1982, Petrus 1989, Petrus 1990, Petrus 2000, Petrus 2005, Petrus 2009, Petrus 2010, Petrus 2011, Petrus 2016, Petrus 2017, Petrus 2018, regularly cited among the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
