100 points -- An opulent Petrus... 100% Merlot... dense plum/purple color and a sweet nose of mulberries, black cherries, some subtle toast and licorice as well as a floral element. A wine of great intensity, a multidimensional mouthfeel and full-bodied, stunning concentration, the 2009 Petrus is everything one would expect of it. Given the sweetness of its tannin... appealing even in its youth.
Drinking Window: From 2016 to 2050
