CHÂTEAU PÉTRUS 2006
POMEROL.
U. 3 X VTS.
THE 2006 PETRUS NOW SEEMS TO BE EVOLVING MORE SLOWLY THAN THE 2006 LE PIN: THE FRUIT DARKER WITH RASPBERRY COULIS, MULBERRY, HINTS OF MARMALADE AND CRUSHED ROSE PETALS COMING FORTH. THE PALATE IS MEDIUM-BODIED WITH FINE TANNIN, GENTLY GRIPPING THE MOUTH AND DEMONSTRATING ADMIRABLE WEIGHT AND COMPLEXITY. YOU MIGHT ALMOST THINK THERE WAS SOME CABERNET FRANC TOWARDS THE FINISH THANKS TO THE SUBTLE PEPPERY NOTES COMING THROUGH. IT IS PROBABLY READY TO DRINK NOW, BUT THE SUBSTANCE HERE SUGGESTS THAT IT WILL AGE FOR ANOTHER DECADE AND CONTINUE TO OFFER PLEASURE LONG AFTER. TASTED JANUARY 2016. WS 94 WA 96

A PRODIGIOUS PETRUS, THIS WINE HAS THAT EXTRA LEVEL OF INTENSITY AND COMPLEXITY THAT IS MONUMENTAL. THE MAGIC IS CLEARLY PETRUS, AND THE 2000 WILL ALWAYS BE AN INTERESTING VINTAGE TO COMPARE TO ANOTHER LEGEND IN THE MAKING, THE 1998, OR MORE RECENTLY, OF COURSE, THE 2005, 2008, AND 2009. EXTREMELY FULL-BODIED, WITH GREAT FRUIT PURITY, AN UNMISTAKABLE NOTE OF UNDERBRUSH, BLACK TRUFFLE, INTENSE BLACK CHERRIES, LICORICE, AND MULBERRY, THE WINE SEEMS TO SHOW NO EVIDENCE OF OAK WHATSOEVER. IT HAS A SUMPTUOUS, UNCTUOUS TEXTURE, PLENTY OF TANNIN, BUT ALSO VIBRANCY AND BRIGHTNESS. THIS IS A REMARKABLE WINE THAT SEEMS SLIGHTLY MORE STRUCTURED AND MASSIVE THAN THE 1998, WHICH COMES ACROSS AS SLIGHTLY MORE SEAMLESS, AS IF IT WERE HAUTE COUTURE. THIS WINE NEEDS AT LEAST ANOTHER 5-10 YEARS OF CELLARING AND SHOULD AGE FOR 50+ YEARS. 100 WA

CHÂTEAU PÉTRUS 1995 (12, OWC) WS 93 WA 96
CHÂTEAU PÉTRUS 1995 (OWC)
POMEROL.
THE WINE EXHIBITS AN OPAQUE RUBY/PURPLE COLOR, FOLLOWED BY A KNOCK-OUT NOSE OF PAIN GRILLE, JAMMY BLACK FRUITS, AND ROASTED COFFEE. ON THE PALATE, IT POSSESSES TEETH-STAINING EXTRACT LEVELS, MASSIVE BODY, AND RICH, SWEET BLACK FRUITS BUTTRESSED BY POWERFUL, NOTICEABLE TANNIN. A FORMIDABLY ENDOWED WINE WITH LAYERS OF EXTRACT, THIS IS A HUGE, TANNIC, MONSTROUS-SIZED PETRUS THAT WILL REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS OF CELLARING. FORGET ALL THE NONSENSE ABOUT MERLOT PRODUCING SWEET, SOFT, READY TO DRINK WINES, BECAUSE LOW YIELDING, OLD MERLOT VINES MADE IN THE WAY OF PETRUS AND OTHER TOP POMEROLS FREQUENTLY POSSESS AS MUCH AGING POTENTIAL AS ANY GREAT CABERNET SAUVIGNON-BASED WINE IN THE WORLD. LOOK FOR THE 1995 PETRUS TO LAST FOR 50+ YEARS. ANTICIPATED MATURITY: 2007-2050. WS 93 WA 96
