Tasting Notes:

The delicious 2007 is the first Petrus in a number of years that can be drunk immediately. Relatively big for the vintage, it offers a dark plum/ruby/purple color as well as aromas of mulberries, black cherries, cedarwood, and soil undertones, loads of fruit, a plump, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and low acidity. It should drink nicely for 15 or more years.

This offers pure, subtle fruit, with blackberry, sliced mushroom and blueberry notes. Full-bodied and balanced, with silky tannins, a pretty finish and just the right amount of wood. Powerful for the vintage. Best after 2014. 2,335 cases made.

Mid purplish crimson. Notably more ‘warmth’ on the nose than most Moueix wines - even a bit of breadth and complexity. A hint of putty - could this be the clay?! Truly mouthfilling and a decisive step up from everything else in the Moueix stable this year. Real life and interest. A thoroughly complete wine that shows the superiority of the vineyard here - but at this stage it seems far from the most seductive vintage of Pétrus.

Bright red-ruby. Scented nose offers violet, minerals, menthol, tobacco leaf and pipe tobacco. The palate displays lovely subtle intensity and inner-mouth perfume, with precise flavors of red fruits, minerals and mint expanding and rising on the firm back end. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and a light touch. With 24 hours in the recorked bottle, this showed a somewhat darker, deeper fruit quality, with the menthol and mineral notes coming to the fore. Should repay a few years in the bottle but shows the fairly soft structure characteristic of the year.

Score: 92 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar

This has a surprisingly light nose for Petrus. It wakes up after 2-3 minutes with some attractive brambly fruit, Doris plum and a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is much better; very good fruit concentration, superb balance with lovely grainy tannins. Very natural and defined with notes of blackberry leaf, briary, a touch of earth. After five minutes it begins to show its breeding. Great persistency towards the finish whilst the nose begins to coalesce. Needs patience - but worth it! Tasted April 2008.
