Written Notes

“Pretty nose and an earthy, cedary style on the palate a lot of character but a dirty style still fresh but doesn’t have the fruit of a great Pétrus still very good.”(92pts JK)

  • 92p

Dry, hot fruit, kind of fragile structure, edgy and not quite harmonious. Not a big deal – not any deal at all. Disappointing wine for Pétrus' standard. I think this wine will decease very soon.
