| 1993 Pomerol |
Chateau Petrus | $225.00 | 95 |
Bordeaux | Cellar Selection | 01/31/96 |
| A truly classic Petrus and comparable to the
'88, '86 and '82. Showy and impressive with
excellent use of new oak. It delivers loads of
toasty coconut and chocolate flavors balanced by
plum and blackberry notes. Incredible
concentration for the vintage. Supple, long
finish. Try after
2000. |

| 1994 Pomerol |
Chateau Petrus | $375.00 | 93 |
Bordeaux | Cellar Selection | 01/31/97 |
| Wonderfully rich and concentrated, with milk chocolate, berry and floral aromas, loads of fruit flavors and soft, round tannins. Full-bodied and has good length. A great wine for the vintage, but then, what do you expect from Petrus? Better from 1999 on, but inviting now. (3200 cases produced) | ||||||
| 1961 Pomerol |
Chateau Petrus | $4869.00 | 93 |
Bordeaux | 04/30/96 |
|
| A rich and opulent vintage of Pomerol's most
acclaimed wine. It tastes subdued at first, but
then the flavors warm up and turn deep and nicely
mature. The texture is thick and chewy without
being tough and the finish is
long. |

| 1995 Pomerol |
Chateau Petrus | N/A | 90-94 |
Bordeaux | 05/15/96 |
|
| Lots of everything here. Loads of smoke, berry, cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body, soft tannins and fresh finish. Really impressive; could move up to classic quality next year. |

| 1945 Pomerol |
Chateau Petrus | $3750.00 | 88 |
Bordeaux | 11/30/95 |
|
| Very firm and focused, chewy in texture. Flavors seem disharmonious, chunky rather than elegant. Solid, with herbal, minty overtones to the black cherry notes, but not elevated. Some thought this just needed more time! |
||||||
| 1994 Pomerol |
Chateau Petrus | $290.00 | 85-89 |
Bordeaux | 05/15/96 |
|
| A very good Petrus, but not as good as the glorious '93. Loads of coconut, vanilla and berry aromas. Offers lovely sweet fruit and medium tannins. |
