Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate June - 2010
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
A prodigious Petrus, this wine has that extra level of intensity and complexity that is monumental. The magic is clearly Petrus, and the 2000 will always be an interesting vintage to compare to another legend in the making, the 1998, or more recently, of course, the 2005, 2008, and 2009. Extremely full-bodied, with great fruit purity, an unmistakable note of underbrush, black truffle, intense black cherries, licorice, and mulberry, the wine seems to show no evidence of oak whatsoever. It has a sumptuous, unctuous texture, plenty of tannin, but also vibrancy and brightness. This is a remarkable wine that seems slightly more structured and massive than the 1998, which comes across as slightly more seamless, as if it were haute couture. This wine needs at least another 5-10 years of cellaring and should age for 50+ years.

Dark and slightly evolved color. Fine, fruity, fresh, licorice-like, creamy nose. Notes of tar, flowers and Merlot on clay. Very beautiful, ample entry on the palate, then the wine develops complex on a tight texture, particularly flavorful, aromatic and noble. It melts in the middle and finishes delicate and powerful at the same time on a very long length with refined tannicity. Wow!

Very deep, fairly intense; sweet, rich, somehow totally unique; very sweet on the palate, with lovely fruit and flesh.

Acker Merrall and Condit, reputable wineseller in New York and Hong Kong (2012) The 2000 is still the benchmark vintage for Bordeaux for the 21st Century. The first aroma that assaulted my senses was coffee. The next thing I noticed was its power. The third thing I noticed was how deft and balanced its fruit still was despite all that power. Its fruit was definitely big blue, so much so that I wrote ‘GO GIANTS!’ Yes, it was my 22nd wine, and we all know what happens at this stage of the tasting J. Its nose was ‘perfect,’ and its rich and decadent palate was clearly in the superior category. The Hedonist saw a little ‘baby 1990 ’ in it. I believe I gave this wine 99 points previously, and I would not be surprised to see other bottles down the road returning to that glory

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 great classified growths of the Médoc, Pomerol has no official classification, but 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 clay-ferruginous 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 recognizable identity. The grape variety is almost exclusively composed of Merlot, a grape that 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.
