In a few words ...
A mythical wine, of very consistent quality and top of its prestigious appellation. Great elegance and aromatic complexity.
"Petrus, the most famous and mythical of the Pomerols, occupies a special place in the world of wine. It was at the wedding of Elisabeth, now Queen of England, that it acquired its notoriety. On the label, an engraving depicts Saint Peter and the key to Paradise: happy are those mortals who have the pleasure of tasting it. Admirably dressed in a deep, dark color with black highlights, the 97 develops an already highly expressive bouquet, at once fruity and vinous, vanilla and toasty. Tasty and fleshy on the palate, it reveals a fine structure of ripe, yet firm tannins on the finish. A promising wine for the next ten years".

The Pomerol's dress is most often dark ruby and purple hues in its youth and an appearance of brick hues with aging.

The bouquet is often very rich and complex with notes of black and red fruits. Also note the presence of empyreumatic with leather, roasting and a vanilla tip.

Taste
The tannins of the Pomerols are rather robust, we will wait a certain maturity to find a perfectly balanced wine. Note the presence of ripe black fruits including blackcurrant, and sometimes truffle.

It's perfect for preparing a good boeuf bourguignon, and I'd recommend more bottles in the future!
