Petrus 1995 (1 BT)

Petrus 1995 

Pomerol

u. bn, label slightly wrinkled left corner and with transparent tape at top, capsule very slightly worn; Etiquette légèrement froissée dans le coin gauche et avec du scotch transparent en haut, capsule très légèrement usée

This was the driest year since 1945, except for 1961. We used to say it was a bit 'reined in', a touch 'Protestant' even, but now it is much more 'Catholic' and uninhibited! Intense, warm leaves nose, the 'maquis', or scented, wild undergrowth, in full bloom. Immensely tempting. Great red fruit taste, brimming over with health and vivacity. Lovely silky finish. A superb mouthful and signature Petrus, hardly surprising in an excellent year for Merlot.
