Written Notes

The 1994 Petrus had a more pungent, meaty nose with lots of iron, iodine and wild red licorice. There were grain and animal flavors and a medicinal kick to its palate, along with nice richness to its fruit. The Hedonist noted, ‘tapenade,’ and there was also instant oatmeal on its finish. The finish was a lot softer than I expected for this tannic vintage

A terrific and splendid wine for the vintage. Pomerol was the only district in whole Bordeaux, which produced eminent wines in 1994. Great depth on the palate, incredibly intense and with excellent balance. A delicacy for 15-20 years enjoyment.
