Rich purple colour, full and saturated; very rich and powerful nose, brimming with Merlot-character, ripe fruit (cherries, red berries) and new oak, deep and fleshy, freshness; velvety texture, firm acidity and light tannins sheathed in rich flesh, lively, concentrated to the point of decadence, excellent composition; very good length. Excellent Merlot, impeccably made under the aegis of Michel Rolland. Now - 2005.

This is still a very serious wine. Of course Petrus is Merlot and ages forever. Still lots of life left. Hard to believe its 18 years old

A lovely wine still drinking very well at 16 years of age. Very fragrant when opened. Not a lot of tannin. Soft but full of smooth flavours
