Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate February - 2023
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
 The 2018 Petrus has retained its opaque purple-black color 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 licorice, 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 color, beautiful and deep. Very aromatic, fine, subtle, noble and complex nose, with this slight fine fat which evokes blackberry jelly. Soft on the palate, particularly aromatic in the middle, with fine fat, the wine advances gently, slides, melts, complex, deep and noble. At the very end of the palate there remains a touch of legitimate austerity which evokes clay. Very airy behavior. Note that decanting does nothing except to magnify a tactile behavior comparable to that of a great dry white wine. Degree of alcohol: 14°7 which cannot be felt. Aging: 50% new wood. Duration: 16 months.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider April - 2019
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
 The color 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, licorice, 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 flavors are expansive, moving from plummy mid-palate to a spicy, licorice, 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 flavor. 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, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Multi-faceted bouquet with intense dark berry fruit, a hint of sweet spices, some nougat and orange zest. Powerfully fruity, ripe plum, black cherry, velvety tannins, very good freshness with a touch of chocolate on the finish, mineral and long-lasting on the palate.

Petrus

The Petrus estate derives its name from a village called "Petrus". Its history is recent and yet this wine is already a legend. Throughout the nineteenth century the area belonged to the Arnaud family. In 1925, a woman from the Libourne region, Ms. Loubat, takes shares in the property. Twenty years later she is the sole owner. Understanding that the wines of the Medoc sell for more than wines of Pomerol, in particular her wines, she did everything she could to take advantage of such a promising terroir.  In a few decades the myth was born. In 1961, Mrs Lacoste and Mr. Lignac, niece and nephew of Mrs. Loubat  inherit the estate.The vineyard is based on the highest hill of the designation, culminating at an altitude of 40 meters. The soil consists mainly of clay which  is well suited to Merlot which constitutes 95% of the plantings. The 12 hectares are the subject of constant work and a constant obsession with détail.  It is thought that Pétrus is more accessible to tasting than  some of its illustrious colleagues..
