On our wedding anniversary in 2012, a bouquet of all the great Clarets rolled into one. Total nostalgia. Nose of great black cherries bounding out of the glass. Dark chocolate, leather, liquorice, orange peel and aromatics. Utterly hedonistic. Creamy texture, prunes, black olives and coffee beans.
Petrus is Bordeaux's most individual wine and this is one of the greatest vintages they have ever made. I would never get tired of this wine - try me! And on Valentine's Day 2013, my husband produced it again. Sumptuous, voluptuous, sweet and ripe. Then add plums and cloves to the mix - one of the greatest wines ever made. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
