Bouquet fantastically pure nose of preserved plums, blackberry preserves and blueberry compote, followed by nuances of molten licorice, dark chocolate, black truffles, iron ore and, still later, floral notions of lilacs and rose oil come through. |

Flavour The full-bodied palate is taut, muscular and oh-so-tightly wound at this stage, revealing peeks at many, many layers of perfectly ripe black and blue fruits, exotic spices and earthy notions for which words simply fail. The texture is at once rock solid and fantastically plush, with impeccably knit freshness, finishing so long you really can’t taste or think of anything else for the rest of the day |

Petrus’ terroir is indeed made of very fine and swelling black and blue clay called “montmorillonite” that creates an area of low atmospheric pressure; this type of soil absorbs and restore water drop by drop to the vine.

Here is a heart-stopping titan that puts paid to all those naysayers who contest that perfection in wine cannot exist. It will require a good 8-10 years to hit its stride, then it is very likely to outlive us all, but you will want to make certain you drink this one before you go.
Harvest occurred over a two week period at Petrus. They were finished by September 27. “From the beginning, we knew we had something great,” continued Berrouet. “We had to be patient to pick at the right time each block. Color, flavors, tannins—everything coming out of the tank was complex—we had a longer fermentation than usual, but we did not move the wine as much. We wanted to get the flesh and structure…but not too much. The quality of the tannins and the finish are essential to great wine in 2018. I love the aromatic complexity, iris, mineral taste, a very lush vintage. It is a powerful vintage—we know that—no need to overdo it on the vinification.”
