Château Pétrus--Vintage 1995
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Unquestionably one of the vintage's superstars, the 1995 Pétrus is taking on a personality similar to the extraordinarily backward, muscular 1975. This is not a Pétrus that can be approached in its youth (i.e., the perfect duo of 1989 and 1990). The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple colour, followed by a knock-out nose of pain grillé, jammy black fruits, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it possesses teeth-staining extract levels, massive body, and rich, sweet black fruits buttressed by powerful, noticeable tannin. A formidably endowed wine with layers of extract, this is a huge, tannic, monstrous-sized Pétrus that will require a minimum of 10 years of cellaring. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 115, February 1998
