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. In the context of a cooler vintage like 2013, this still delivers an abundance of drinking pleasure and never shows any signs of underripeness. Fruit-forward yet beautifully fragrant and fresh, this is an excellent option for earlier drinking.
