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.

Christian Mouiex has a problem that many of the world's winemakers would love to be burdened with. The demand for his wines is so huge that collectors are prepared to pay almost anything to get even one bottle. The high price leads to high quality expectations. This often means disappointment, because just like the other top wines of the world, Pétrus is often drunk much too young, when its taste is still raw and undeveloped. Pétrus requires a...

The 1973 Petrus had more green olive and veggie in its nose, not in an off-putting way. This was tasty, fleshy and actually ripe with some good tomato flavors. There was a nice mineral complexity to the lightly vimful ’73, which was still in a good spot and one of the sleeper vintages of the entire weekend (91).
Absolut grandios der nächste Flight. Ich hatte einen der Teilnehmer unserer Best Bottle dazu gebracht, eine 1973 Petrus Magnum anzustellen. Dagegen habe ich dann aus meinem Keller eine 1975 Petrus Magnum angestellt. Unglaublich gut war dieser 73 Petrus aus kleinem, schwierigerem Jahrgang. Da war noch soviel Leben und Spannung drin. Würzige Frucht und eine herrlich cremige Textur, dazu eine generöse Fülle am Gaumen und feiner Schmelz machten das zum mit Abstand besten 73er Petrus, den ich je trinken durfte – WT97.
Beautiful developed brick red colour. The elegant nose is fragile and delicate with perfumery notes and red fruit. The nuanced palate has matured tannin and refreshing acidity. Charming velvety mouth-feel with impressive depth and length.
