Michael Broadbent
Very impressive: crisp ruby; sweet nose, opening up beatifully; very sweet, rich, full-bodied, caramel flavour and aftertaste. Long life.

Lively crimson. Much richer and sweeter than Le Pin. Not glorious, and even with a slightly metallic note. Still chewy and well behind the other two top Pomerols noted here in terms of evolution.

Falstaff February - 2019

Strong ruby garnet, good color depth, subtle brightening at the edge. Fine black wild berry confit, underlined with nuances of Perigord truffles and a touch of candied violets, dark heart cherries and tobacco-like precious wood. Tight on the palate, very tightly structured, fine extract sweetness, firm, somewhat edgy tannins, good acid structure, a wine that still seems very youthful from the large bottles, an imperious Pétrus, characterized by minerality and spice as well as good future potential.

Color still intense and evolved. Intense, fine, fruity, vanilla and spicy nose. Ample on the attack, this wine develops rich in the middle, very tasty and fruity. Coated tannins. Sappy and long finish with a spicy flavor. It's very good to drink.

Dark red, with an amber edge. Aromas of chocolate, stewed berries, Merlot and raisins. Full-bodied, velvety and rich. Lovely palate. Delicious now, but will hold on. An autumnal wine.

Cellar Tracker November - 2021
Cellar Tracker
Exceptional fill line, solid cork. Clear, bright ruby color, no hint of bricking. Huge nose and intense flavor. A bit tight, rich, big red and blue fruit, med to full body. Very long finish, with some back end tannins. Unreal and simple outstanding.

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..
