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 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 behavior. Note that decanting brings nothing to it except to magnify a tactile behavior comparable to that of a great dry white wine. Alcohol content: 14.7° which is not noticeable. 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

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.

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 meters. 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.
