2012 Petrus
$4,000.00
VINTAGE: 2012
REGION: Pomerol
CLASSIFICATION: NA
TYPE: Red Wine
FORMAT: 750 ml
RATING: 96+ (RP)
DESCRIPTION:
One of the stars of the vintage, the wine (100% Merlot) has exceptional concentration, stunning purity, an inky purple color and a broad, expansive mouthfeel. Not a bit heavy, cloying or overwrought, this is a stunning Petrus (licorice, blackcurrants and truffles dominate) that will probably hit full maturity in 8-10 years and last 25-35. Another great example of this mythical wine that few can afford, virtually no one drinks, but everyone talks about! Relatively high in alcohol at 14.5%, the crop was tiny because of the spring’s poor flowering in this sector of Pomerol. Drink: 2015 – 2050 (04/2015)
