 Pure and rich. Long. Pure and sweet. Complex and racy. Really lively and complete. A wonderful bottle of the 1970.

 Tasted at Benoit restaurant in New York. This is my second bottle in just over a month and it is perhaps even better. Here it offers a sensational bouquet with black rather than red fruit, hints of thyme, sage and broom, the delineation utterly profound. The palate is perfectly balanced with both intensity and elegance to spare. The fruit remains intact but melted and decayed, absorbed into the secondary flavours of black truffle, tobacco, hints of Christmas cake and a long, languorous liquorice-tinged finish. This is just a fabulous Pomerol and a fabulous Petrus. Tasted April 2013.

Falstaff February - 2019

Medium carmine garnet, ochre reflections, broader rim lightening. Attractive nuances of black cherries, aromas of Périgord truffles, delicate licorice, dark berries, mineral touch, multifaceted bouquet. Substantial and juicy on the palate, dark forest berry compote, present, supporting tannins, balanced style, extract-sweet finish, a wine of great charm that has reached its full drinking maturity and impresses with great length.

 The best part of the experience is the silky, velvety texture that you find with its wealth of red and black plums, cocoa, truffle, and spice. The strong sensation of flowers on the front end is the perfect introduction to the wine. Fully mature, there is no reason or sense to keep holding it, plus, it is so good, you need to experience it. Drink from 2023-2034.

A seductive vintage with layers of cassis, leather and dried figs. Tannins are supple and round with an intense core and great vigor for its age. A joy to drink now with the ability to age for many years.

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.
