"A magical effort from Petrus....the color is inky plum/purple to the rim
and the nose, which starts slowly, begins to roar after several minutes,
offering up scents of smoke, blackberries, cherries, licorice, and an
unmistakable truffle/underbrush element. On the palate, this enormous effort is
reminiscent of dry vintage port, with fabulous ripeness, a huge, unctuous
texture, enormous body, and a colossal 65-second finish....It is another wine
to add to the legacy of the great vintages of Petrus. Anticipated maturity:
2015-2050." 100/100 points (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate -
