About this Item

Pomerol, 1994
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Pétrus is one of the world`s rarest and most expensive wines. Virtually unheard of 30 years ago, it was only when the Moueix family bought a half share in the property in 1962 that its true potential began to be fully realised. Pétrus lies on unique Pomerol terroir and it produces a rich, full wine with a velvety texture and a bouquet of cassis, violet and truffle.

Critics Ratings

‘Opaque purple/black in color, with a sweet vanilla, pain grillee, jammy cherry and cassis-scented nose, this full-bodied, densely packed wine reveals layers of flavor, and an inner-core of sweetness with huge quantities of glycerin and depth. A tannic, classic style of Petrus, with immense body, great purity, and a backward finish, this wine requires a decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035.’ - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Feb 1997)

‘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 Pétrus?’ - James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Jan 1997)
