Sort By:

Château Pétrus 2005 Red (Pomerol)

Price $6000

As so often, Pétrus has the ability to charm and impress, to seduce and overwhelm. This 2005, one of the greatest vintages from this great chateau, is massive and concentrated, with flavors of ripe black figs, chocolate and dark plums. Put that all together and the result is the utmost deliciousness, freshness and elegance. A major wine. Imported by Etablissements… — R.V. (6/1/2008)

Château Pétrus 2000 Red (Pomerol)

Price $1500

While the first impression with Pétrus is the wood, it is the fruit which gradually shows itself. It is extraordinary, this dense fruit, which simultaneously manages to float with elegance. There is layer after layer of fruit, sometime black, sometimes smoky, sometimes spicy. The wine is not yet totally integrated, still intensely young, with decades to go. But… — R.V. (6/1/2003)

Château Pétrus 2009 Barrel sample Red (Pomerol)

Online Exclusive

97-99 Barrel sample. Rich, sweet and concentrated, with a definite spicy character and sweet, soft tannins. This is richer than many Pétrus in the past, textured like velvet, but with final acidity. — R.V. (8/9/2010)

Château Pétrus 2004 Red (Pomerol)

Cellar Selection

is a classic. Vintage 2004 has given beautifully ripe Merlot, perfectly poised, but also showing the dryness and power. It is hugely intense, structured, bringing in blackberry flavors, fresh acidity and complex wood, perfumed and rich, concentrated. The aging potential? At least 20 years. — R.V. (6/1/2007)

Château Pétrus 2010 Barrel sample Red (Pomerol)

Online Exclusive

96-98. Hugely full-bodied wine, with the ripest fruit, black plum juice and spice. The tannins are very dense, balanced of course with acidity. The end is beautiful, structured. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Pétrus 2008 Red (Pomerol)

Score Chasers: France 2011

Gorgeous, smooth wine, perhaps even more intense than in past vintages. The tannins are totally enveloped by the ripe plum and damson fruits. Complex, powerful, layered and opulent, this is a wine for the long term. — R.V. (4/1/2011)

Château Pétrus 2006 Red (Pomerol)

Cellar Selection

After the fabulous 2005, Pétrus again has produced a magnificent wine in 2006, even if it doesn’t hit quite the same heights. It has an immensely powerful structure and concentration, always the hallmark of this wine. But this structure is almost masked by the superbly ripe and fresh fruit. And with all this weight, there is still a sense of proportion, the rich… — R.V. (3/1/2009)

Château Pétrus 2006 Barrel Sample Red (Pomerol)

95-97 Barrel Sample The freshness of 2006 is here in abundance. But because it is Pétrus, those deliciously lively black fruits are backed up with a formidable battery of tannins and concentration. But never extracted, always properly restrained — R.V. (6/1/2007)
