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.

1995 Already over ten years of age, the true Bordeaux classic, allying elegance and nobility.
Great wines are worth the wait. The others are delicious to drink.
1990 Vintage of great heat.
Rich in alcohol and its seduction makes this vintage a favorite amongst numerous wine amateurs.
1989 A great classic vintage and very early (Pomerol harvested early September).
Slightly more austere than the 1990, it remains one of the bes...

Written Notes
The 1975 Petrus Magnum was rich and decadent and one of the best of the bunch. It was ‘the right size to drink for a wine of this age’, noted the Ambassador. It was delightfully creamy and in a perfect spot on this occasion (97M).
This hot year in Bordeaux is reflected in this wine’s firm, mouth-coating tannins and less delicate but rich and ripe aromas. Moderately intense ruby colour with garnet red tones. Rich, overwhelming liquorice flavours with ripe blackcurrant nose. On the palate the rich medium-bodied wine is surprisingly crisp and fresh with intense, fleshy ripe fruitiness and subtle tannins. Long, ripe and round finish. Very New World wine by style. Appealing and enjoyable wine today.
Blutjung und noch so frisch zeigte sich der 75er Petrus mit absolut genialer Struktur. Ein wilder, ungestümer Wein, der an ein junges Rennpferd erinnerte. Süchtig machend die Nase mit superber, süßer, aber auch präziser Frucht. Enorm kraftvoll der Auftritt mit geradezu explosiver, auch exotischer Aromatik ung endloser Länge am Gaumen. Ein absoluter Weltklassewein, der glücklich und sprachlos machte. Dürfte mit seinem immer noch perfekten Tanningerüst sicher noch 30 Jahre oder länger gut altern – WT100.
Beautifully framed aromatic nose with focused cherry fruits and notes of herbs, earth and old wood. Nicely complex. The palate shows good concentration with savoury, taut herb-tinged berry and cherry fruit. It’s really fine and expressive, yet still has a lot of tannic structure. Firm with bold structure and focus, as well as some mineral notes. A striking wine indeed. 95/100
Medium deep brick red colour. The nose is voluptuous and bright: red berries, glue, licorice, tobacco and tar. The rich and thick palate has some tannic backbone left. Juicy, smooth texture. The wine is fully alive, however it has no great finesse or charm to it. Drink within the next 10 years.

Good looking magnum size bottle, in an excellent condition and has bottom neck level. Colour is ruby red, deep and mature. On the nose it is open, intense, wide, fresh and charming. The taste is ripe, refined, powerful, vigor, with silky tannins, full-bodied and with balanced structure. The finish is long, extensive, spicy and pure. This wine is sophisticated, impressive and fine.
