Critic Scores

Deep ruby ​​garnet, good color depth, subtle lightening at the rim. Fine black forest berry jam, underpinned by nuances of Périgord truffles and a hint of candied violets, dark Morello cherries, and tobacco-like fine wood. On the palate, taut, very tightly structured, with fine extract sweetness, firm, somewhat angular tannins, good acidity, a wine that still seems very youthful from the large bottle, a commanding Pétrus, characterized by minerality and spice, and good future potential. Peter Moser - Tasted: Feb 2019

Ruby, garnet rim. Scented, dark fruits, some blueberries, spices, darker and deeper than a bottle last year, quite youthful still, tight, needs massive air to open. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, quite lively and elegant palate, lovely acidity string that carries the flavours, some figs, long. - Tasted: Jun 2015
