The iconic Petrus is one of the greatest Red Bordeaux of all. The unusually old vines are in a small 11 hectare Pomerol vineyard, planted almost exclusively to Merlot. The wines reached new heights under the ownership of the Mouiex family, and are some of the most complex and long lived of the region. The brilliant 1995 is in its plateau of maturity, with a gloriously complex array of truffled red fruits and game on the nose and a velvety, long palate
"The 1995 Petrus is one of the finest vintages of the decade, a silver medal behind the brilliant 1998. This bottle might well constitute the best that I have encountered. It has a beautiful, focused nose with hints of game and humidor infusing the black fruit. With aeration more red fruit becomes evident, allied with a touch of roasted chestnut. The palate is supremely well balanced, slightly gamey and with impressive grip. There is a bit of chutzpah about this Petrus, the way in which it fans out towards the finish. You could broach bottles now, although this example suggests that it is going to be very interesting to follow over the next 20 years." 97/100 Neal Martin 2020
