Pétrus
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
As close to a perfect wine as I have had for some time. Beautiful mushroom and barnyard nose. Soft cooked meat with just picked cherries. Elegance at it its best. Perfectly balanced this is still a baby! Thanks Lucca for your donation bottle and sorry you weren’t able to join us!

1988, a perfect bottle, not the most incredible Petrus, just finesse and good texture we love at this age.

Subtle with rich aromas of meat, spice and red fruits. Very soft and silky, with youthful almost underripe tannins. The finish is long, truly elegant. The quality of the tannins is beautiful. All the components are in the right place, the prominent tannins indicate, that this wine should be left alone for at least a decade. Special, but comes with a serious price tag. A privilege having had the opportunity to taste it! 3,500 cases made.

Une bouteille mythique. Dun point de vue technique et puissance c'est un monstre. Un nez très bien en place. Une bouche dune puissance et dune longueur invraisemblable pour un vin de 88. Les tanins sont très bien en place. Une finale mentholee qui donne de la fraîcheur et de la reprise. Le souci est que ce vin manque de fondu et de soyeux pour qu'il soit envoûtant. C'est très bien et conventionnel mais il lui manque la petite pointe d'humanité.
