Tasting Notes
Vinous 98
The 2019 Petrus is relatively flamboyant on the nose with gregarious black cherries, raspberry coulis scents mixed with autumn bonfire and fireside hearth. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, well balanced, quite fresh with a poised and delineated finish. I adore the pepperiness that lingers in the mouth, a multifaceted Pomerol with a long life ahead. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Complex animal notes on the nose. Very round and supple and flattering with a little alcoholic warmth on the finish. Drying tannic finish at present but it should make it eventually. Pretty juicy liquorice fruit. (JR)
