"Fleshy, fat, and already sexy, the dark plum/purple-tinged 2003 Petrus is
exceptionally ripe and rich. While not as exotic as its rival, Lafleur, it is
rich, heady, and loaded. A tour de force in winemaking for Pomerol, it
vindicates Christian Moueixs decision to harvest nearly all his Merlot on
September 3 and 4, and the Cabernet Franc on September 17. However, production
is tiny ... less than 1,700 cases. Full-bodied, powerful, and exceptionally
pure without losing its nobility and elegance, this stunning Petrus can be
drunk in 2-3 years or cellared for three decades."
