Tobacco and leather. Dark plum. Very pure and precise with secondary notes, hints of dried fruit and flowers. A little sharpness on the finish.

Birthday year wine. Quite youthful with hints of mocha.

One of the best vintages for Petrus. This bottle very young tannic and chocolate.

Tried half a glass at the behest of a very charitable stranger. Perfect age, perfect taste, perfect wine. Smooth and velvety as anything I have ever tried. Tannins were as soft as butter. Domineering chocolate flavour that is awe inspiring and accompanied by amazing secondary flavours of vanilla. Regal Right Banker!

Always the sweet taste of the iron-rich clay in the wines of Petrus which separates them from anyone else. It's that unique mouth feel as graceful and rich as finest Vicuña and sings siren songs on the tongue.

Early funk blew off after 1 hour of decanting revealing beautiful blue and red fruit. With finish that goes on and on
