Petrus 2002

Solid but unremarkable. Red fruit and cedar emerge with earthy undertones, yet the wine lacks the depth and magnetic pull that separates great Petrus from merely good Pomerol. The structure is sound, but concentration falls short of expectations. Drinks well now but won't improve significantly.

Petrus

Petrus is the most celebrated estate in Pomerol, producing a single wine from a clay-dominant plateau that has commanded some of the highest prices in Bordeaux for decades.
