98-100 JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2018 Petrus is a brilliant wine that has perfection written all over it, and it’s unquestionably one of the most powerful, opulent wines in the vintage. As always, it’s 100% Merlot and offers a heavenly bouquet of cassis, smoke, earth, graphite, and beautiful liquid violets. Full-bodied, deep, and opulent on the palate, I must have written “huge wine!” three or four times in my notes, and despite all its power and rich...

The Story

Drinking Pétrus may be an unforgettable experience. We has been lucky to have the opportunity to taste most of its great vintages. That is why wine enthusiasts often come to us for advice. First, WeI advise you to choose a good vintage, an excellent one if your wallet allows. If you taste a poor vintage, you will notice how it raises above most other wines of the same vintage, but you will miss the actual point of Pétrus.

Second, purchase w...

Wine Information

The 2018 vintage launched the modern trilogy of exceptionally warm, solar years at Pétrus (2018–2020), defined by a deluge of early spring rain followed by an intensely hot, drought-like summer with over 1,100 hours of glorious sunshine. The vineyard’s 11.4 hectares of 100% Merlot relied entirely on its famous subsoil of dense, water-retaining smectite blue clay, which provided a continuous hydrological supply to prevent vine stress during the...

Report and recommendations for the 2018 Bordeaux vintage

by Andrew Caillard MW

2018 is an exceptional year. Bordeaux whites and Sauternes are very good, but from an Australian perspective, the excitement is all in the red wines. All sub-regions produced examples of very good wines, but some performed better than others. Generally, the largest estates have made exemplary wines illustrating that the human factor and wealth can have a major...

Plush and inviting, with steeped red and black currant and fig flavors that meld nicely with fruitcake, Christmas pudding and anise notes through the finish. Subtle dark earth hint at the end keeps it grounded. The vintage's slightly austere edge is here, but is minimized by the fruit, helping this stand apart from the pack. Best from 2023 through 2034.

The 2018 Petrus is a magnificent wine. There is not much else to say. From the very first taste, the 2018 Petrus is simply magical. Dark, sumptuous and beautifully resonant on the palate, the 2018 offers superb richness, aromatic depth and intensity. Blueberry, spice, black pepper, licorice and earthy notes open up in the glass, but it is the wine's vivid beauty and extraordinary harmony that stand out most. I don't think I have ever tasted a young Petrus with such silky, suave tannins. "We lowered the canopies and left more leaf cover to protect the fruit," Technical Director Olivier Berrouet told me. "The berries were especially small. Cuvaison was a bit longer than normal, but we chose to extract more gently."

100% Merlot. Barrel sample.
Black core with purple rim. First impression is a paradoxical combination of intensity and restraint. There's obviously great fruit concentration even though it is not jumping out of the glass – perhaps because it is so concentrated – but there's also a pencil-shavings mineral quality, very slightly cedary. That same beauty in restraint on the palate, bone-dry, super-fine tannins, layered and compact, almost chalky, darkest of black fruit and mineral savour. As it opens, there's a tiny, tiny, hint of violets giving scent to the palate. Even with all that restraint, it is a big, powerful wine. Very concentrated if not in the least heavy. The restraint and the tannins are the freshness. Creamy richness on the finish but still so finely dry and that floral character in the empty glass. Gorgeous in its restrained and elegant power. Perfect tailoring and leaves your mouth clean and dry. (JH)

Petrus 2018 / A Petrus of great dimension with a structure that gains in finesse with the passing weeks and an aromatic scope delivering spices, pepper, iris, marshmallow, violet. Alluring and shining tannins. A legendary vintage for the cru. 99 points

Deep colour. Aniseed herb garden dark cherry plum shellac aromas. Immensely concentrated densely packed wine with dark plum paneforte flavours, espresso mocha notes, fine loose knit supple and chocolaty textures, superb richness and volume, integrated acidity. Lovely tannin plume at the finish. Really lovely powerful but elegantly proportioned wine with all the elements in perfect balance. Like the 1947.

Dark purple red colour with violet hue and almost black core. Very open nose, complex aroma, wonderful balance, ripe blackberries and dark stone fruit. subtle oak, discreet toasting aroma, hints of mild spices in the background. Elegant on the palate with sweet tannins, excellent concentration, gentle extraction, excellent depth and length, a wonderful "textbook" Pétrus.

Sisäpiiritietoa

100 JAMES SUCKLING: "This wine leaves me speechless. It has so much intensity and density with fantastic ripe fruit with spices, dark berries and walnuts and hazelnuts Currants and licorice. Violets and earth. Full-bodied, very, very tannic yet polished and beautiful. Lasts forever on the palate. Reminds me of the great 1998."

98-100 THE WINEADVOCATE: "Very deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Petrus is a little slow to reveal itself, opening out to beautiful floral notions of violets, red roses and lavender with emerging scents of blueberry compote, powdered cinnamon, star anise, fragrant earth and unsmoked cigars plus nuances of black tea, cardamom, rose hips, iron ore and Sichuan pepper. Full-bodied, the palate builds very slowly in the mouth, growing to a crescendo of black and blue fruit with an aria of earth and exotic spice accents, finishing with the most amazing perfume, all draped in super plush, seductive tannins, ending with just enough freshness to make the beguiling flavor waves go on and on. Big, bold and opulent yet with fantastic muscle and energy, this timeless 2018 is nothing short of mind blowing."
