With a beautiful color, barely evolved, this wine presents itself with discretion and humility. The nose is not exuberant; it needs to be well aerated to gradually discover its aromas. Tertiary aromas dominate. We find mushrooms, smoke, precious woods. On the palate, great distinction and very fine balance. Beautiful length. The end of the bottle, as often, is richer, fuller, more complex.

Given the past performance of Petrus in vintages such as 1980 and 1984, I would not be surprised to see the rating of the 1987 go up three or four points in 5-6 years. This is one of the most backward and full-bodied wines of the vintage, with a tremendous amount of tannic clout, yet excellent underlying power and body. The problem is that it is impossibly closed, almost impenetrable, suggesting that my score may be entirely too conservative. If you are a millionaire who wants to buy wine for a child born in 1987, this wine will still be in reasonable condition by the time he or she turns 21.

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.
