CHATEAU PETRUS Pomerol, Grand Vin 2007 Bottle/nc

Description

Managed by Christian Moueix, the estate in Pomerol has somehow captured in a single vintage, 2007, all the centuries-old mystery and magic of Bordeaux. Composed mostly of Merlot, the wine smoulders with treasure from Pomerol and captures the fascination of many years of Bordeaux excellence with its allspice, dark-chocolate, caramel, and blackberry-jam flavours.

THE WINE ADVOCATE - 91 points - Drink Date: 2010 - 2025 - Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr. - "The delicious 2007 is the first Petrus in a number of years that can be drunk immediately. Relatively big for the vintage, it offers a dark plum/ruby/purple colour as well as aromas of mulberries, black cherries, cedarwood, and soil undertones, loads of fruit, a plump, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and low acidity. It should drink nicely for 15 or more years."
