"Opaque purple-black colored, the 2016 Petrus slips effortlessly out of the glass with sanguine, seductive notes of kirsch, warm black plums, blueberry compote, red roses, Ceylon tea, violets, dark chocolate-covered cherries, licorice and cinnamon stick with wafts of iron ore, pencil lead, unsmoked cigars and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, profound and absolutely edifying on the palate, the densely packed, beautifully perfumed red and blue fruit layers possess a charge like defibrillators stimulating your heart to beat faster, each delivering achingly subtle floral and spice sparks, perfectly framed by very firm, very grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with incredible length and taking you to depths that extend to a provocative ferrous undercurrent. Stunning." Wine Advocate

For most wine lovers, Petrus stands at the pinnacle – it is the best of the best, a wine highly sought after at auction because of its rarity and the one wine to try before you die. At its best, Pétrus is an incredibly intense, concentrated, nuance-rich, refined, and extremely multidimensional wine, demanding absolute attention and one's senses running at full speed.
