Petrus is often considered the pinnacle of the Pomerol appellation and is undoubtedly one of the most revered wines in the world. The style of Petrus is unique and in the best vintages it often achieves levels of aromatic complexity, richness and silky texture that others simply cannot. 2010 was a stellar vintage, resulting in a wine with a superb black cherry and mulberry profile, together with hints of coffee and liquorice. A beautifully rich and full bodied red, awarded the highly coveted 100 Robert Parker point score.
