Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
(2-1996) An estate only needs to produce a handful of wines such as the 1961 Petrus to garner an international following. Not surprisingly, the 1961 Petrus was pure perfection. This fully mature wine possesses a port-like richness (reminiscent of the 1947 Petrus and 1947 Cheval Blanc). The color revealed considerable amber and garnet, but the wine is crammed with viscous, thick, over-ripe black-cherry, mocha-tinged fruit flavors. Extremely full-bodied, with huge amounts of glycerin and alcohol, this unctuously-textured, thick wine makes for an awesome mouthful. Imagine a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup laced with layers of coffee and cherry, and encased in a shell of Valrhona chocolate!

Acker Merrall and Condit, reputable wineseller in New York and Hong Kong (2012) Low and behold, the 1961 Petrus. It had been a while since I had had this legendary wine. It was great to see it live up to that reputation yet again. This was a ‘wow’ nose, deeper and more complex than anything else we had encountered so far. Its fruit was black as midnight, and it got another ‘wow’ from The Hedonist. It was so deep and complex in the nose, with oil, forest and menthol aromas. The ’61 just stayed in my mouth forever. It was so fresh, I could see it lasting another fifty years easily. Rich, thick and incroyable, this was as delicious as it gets, and ultimately most everyone’s wi ne of the weekend.

(4-1996) Tasted from magnum. A rich and opulent vintage of Pomerol's most acclaimed wine. It tastes subdued at first, but then the flavors warm up and turn deep and nicely mature. The texture is thick and chewy without being tough and the finish is long

Petrus

Petrus is one of the most emblematic and 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, recognized for the singularity of its terroir and the exceptional consistency of its wines.

The Petrus vineyard rests on a unique plateau of iron-clay soils, dominated by a high proportion of blue clay, which is rare in Bordeaux. This terroir gives the wines a dense structure, remarkable depth, and an immediately recognizable 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, particularly driven by influential figures who shaped its style and reputation. The wines of Pétrus are distinguished by their richness, their silky texture, and their exceptional aging potential. Among the iconic vintages: 1961 wine, 1982 vintage, the legendary 1989, Petrus 1990, 2000, Petrus 2016, 2017 wine, regularly cited among the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
