Petrus 2008

Petrus

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 97.0

Pétrus is one of the world`s rarest and most expensive wines, this tiny estate is unusual for Pomerol in that it is on clay, which is ideal for Merlot. Attention to detail is exact – grapes are only harvested, by hand, in the afternoons, to avoid the morning dew!

Richard Hemming MW

Rich, fruit-cake aromas and gentle spiciness. Earth and mushroom on the palate. Medium body, soft tannic texture. Concentrated and lengthy – the best may still be yet to come. (RH)

Jane Anson

Tight and firm, yet with incredibly embracing tannins that are still in their early phase of evolution, even though it is 100% Merlot. Its a trick that basically nobody else in Pomerol can pull off to quite this extent. Some liquorice kicks through, along with dark plum and blackberry fruits, touches of white pepper and coffee bean. Extremely enjoyable and still extremely young.
