Also licorice and currants. Full-bodied and yet refined, with impeccable tannins. The aftertaste lasts for minutes. Incredible length and elegance. Depth. Phenomenal structure, especially if we take into account the harvest year. It reminds me of 1998 or 1971, editions with a strong structure but great refinement. ” 97 Wine Enthusiast Points 96+ Parker Points 96 Wine Spectator Points What else can be said about Château Pétrus Perhaps only 50 years ago you could buy a bottlefor 1 Eur, and today it can cost you over 4000 Euro … Or that in September 2018 it upset the French, when the Moueix family sold 20% of the shares to a Colombian billionaire. Or that its imposition on the international market and, implicitly, the sudden rise in price owes no less to the controversial Robert Parker Jr. who, in 1982, would make the first reviews of Pomerol wines.
