Description

Petrus 2005  

Pomerol 

1 scuffed label, 6 Mexico import tags adhered to labels, 6 adhered to capsules, 5 slightly scuffed capsules 


This is a great wine. It has it all, fruit, tannin and fresh acidity - in 2005, the acidity went up markedly during the fermentation. Lightly coffee-ish, with cloves, redcurrants and glycerol. The aromatic aftertaste is terrific. I wish I could accompany this wine on its (entire) life's journey! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
