Michael Broadbent April - 2000
Michael Broadbent
Very impressive: crisp ruby; sweet nose, opening up beatifully; very sweet, rich, full-bodied, caramel flavour and aftertaste. Long life.

Lively crimson. Much richer and sweeter than Le Pin. Not glorious, and even with a slightly metallic note. Still chewy and well behind the other two top Pomerols noted here in terms of evolution.

Falstaff February - 2019
Falstaff
Strong ruby garnet, good colour depth, subtle lightening at the rim. Fine black forest berry compote, underlaid with nuances of Périgord truffles and a hint of candied violets, dark morello cherries and tobacco-like noble wood. On the palate taut, very tightly woven, fine extract sweetness, firm, somewhat angular tannins, good acid structure, a wine from the large bottle that still appears very youthful, an imperious Pétrus, characterised by minerality and spice as well as good further ageing potential.

Jean-Marc Quarin
Colour still intense and evolved. Intense nose, fine, fruity, vanilla and spicy. Full on the attack, this wine develops rich in the middle, very flavourful and fruity. Coated tannins. Juicy and long finish with a spicy flavour. Very good to drink.

Wine Spectator June - 2001

Dark red, with an amber edge. Aromas of chocolate, stewed berries, Merlot and raisins. Full-bodied, velvety and rich. Lovely palate. Delicious now, but will hold on. An autumnal wine.

Cellar Tracker November - 2021
Cellar Tracker
Exceptional fill line, solid cork. Clear, bright ruby colour, no hint of bricking. Huge nose and intense flavour. A bit tight, rich, big red and blue fruit, med to full body. Very long finish, with some back end tannins. Unreal and simply outstanding.

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.
