"A wine evincing true enlightenment
it already offers pleasure
blackberry pie and raspberry preserves notes followed by hints of cigar box
tasted 4/2015
with a multidimensional mouthfeel and incredible complexity and richness
Petrus 2009 1.5L (Nicked Label) Champagne "A wine evincing true enlightenmentMedium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Petrus gives up glorious scents of preserved plums, redcurrant jelly, dried rose petals, blackberry compote and mulberries with touches of licorice, Chinese five spice and fragrant earth. Full, rich, plushly textured and oh so decadent, it reveals layer upon layer of spice box, black fruit and ferrous notions, finishing long and fragrant." Wine Advocate, RP100 (LPB), tasted 3 2019
