Petrus 2012

Petrus is a renowned Pomerol red produced from Merlot grown on the estate's distinctive clay-rich plateau. The vineyard's exceptional blue clay soils contribute concentration, structure and longevity, while meticulous vineyard and cellar practices create a powerful yet refined expression with remarkable depth, texture and ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, truffle dishes, or aged Comte.

98 Points - James Suckling

Fabulous length with chocolate, berry, mineral, licorice and currant character. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with seamless tannins, remarkable elegance, depth and a finish that continues for minutes.

97 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Enormous depth combines with the freshness and fruit of Merlot. The wine is massive yet elegant, richly full-bodied and structured, with youthful oak influence and abundant fruit supporting considerable ageing potential.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Ripe raspberry and wild strawberry aromas are joined by graphite and forest-floor notes. The medium-bodied palate is refined and savory, with firm fine tannins, red fruit, black pepper and sage leading through the finish.

96 Points - Wine Spectator

Powerful graphite character frames dense plum and raspberry fruit with substantial gravelly grip. The wine shows impressive length and definition, with graphite driving through the finish while concentrated fruit persists.
