Pétrus--Vintage 2001
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
In original wooden six-bottle cases. U.S.A. import labels
Tasting note: The 2001 Pétrus (2,160 cases produced) exhibits more depth and richness than any other Pomerol I tasted. Its deep saturated ruby, plum, purple colour is accompanied by a tight but promising bouquet of vanilla, cherry liqueur, melted liquorice, black currants, and notions of truffles and earth. Rich, full-bodied, and surprisingly thick as well as intense, there is plenty of structure underlying the wealth of fruit and extract. Give it 3-6 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following two decades as it promises to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage, not to mention one of the most concentrated. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 153, June 2004.
