Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 16, 2024 - Nose: blueberries, forrest floor, hints of vanilla, gasoline, baked bread, leather
Notes: This is a bottle with great condition with a good fill. Drank after 1 hour of decanting. If Petrus is to be praised for it should be for its consistency rather than greatness in top vintages, without a doubt a great vintage of Petrus shows excellent depth and a special sweetness on the nose but I'd say the overall profile is just Petrus like ans it will never surprise anyone. Still in its youth but probably stepped into the drinking window already given its age. I somehow enjoyed Petrus but never had much craving for it. Clearly I'm unable to criticize this wine but the quality is just nowhere near the price level it's currently asking for. Although a bit more breathing may help but I don't think the change will be very significant in this case. If time allows I would bottle breathe this for 3-4 hours before serving.
