Pétrus
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Solid Pomerol, slightly off vintage perhaps for Pétrus, needs quite a bit of time to show itself, but for the price it's never been a wine that impressed me.

Possibly the most approachable Petrus at the moment out of the vintages of past decade..

1st monthly wine group meetup for 2025, and everyone went big tonight. Nose: dark fruit, wet forest floor, sweet spice, cedar, truffles, touch of roasted meat. Taste: silky, energetic, balanced wine with red plum/berries, minerals, damp earth, tobacco, cinnamon chocolate espresso wrapped up in an amazing medium plus finish. YUM!

96-97/100. Very unusual evolution.
The wine feels 10 years older.
But it is really nice and pleasant.

This bottle needs a 90-120 minute decant. After which it offers on the mouth some red fruit surrounding a core of black fruit and thoroughly integrates note of leather, tobacco, dark chocolate, espresso and the faintest trace of stems and gelatin. It is beautifully balanced and has the most amazing finish which seems to expand occupy your mouth forever! A terrific bottle which will pay off in spades if held for another five to ten years

Ruby red core , light ruby rim, almost touch of pink . Lots of black berry , black plum , sweet black fruits . Floral also , mineral laced. There is real volume on the palate,, a lot of the black berry , plum fruit, long finish, excellent balance. Tannin velvety but present , lovely vibrant acidity. Alcohol totally in balance. A great wine , still young really , will last and improve over many years .
