Description

PETRUS, BORDEAUX, FRANCE


An exceptional and rare recent release of 1 double-magnum (3L) Petrus 1995 


WINE:


1 double-magnum (3 litres) Petrus 1995, Pomerol


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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
