Château Pétrus--Vintage 1995
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
"It is interesting how this wine continues to evolve. Unquestionably one of the vintage's superstars, the 1995 Pétrus is taking on a
personality similar to the extraordinarily backward, muscular 1975.
This is not a Pétrus that can be approached in its youth (i.e., the
perfect duo of 1989 and 1990). The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by a knockout nose of pain grillé, jammy black fruits, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it possesses teeth-staining extract levels, massive body, and rich, sweet black fruits buttressed by powerful, noticeable tannin. A formidably endowed wine with layers of extract, this is a huge, tannic, monstrous-sized Pétrus that will require a minimum of 10 years of cellaring. Forget all the nonsense about Merlot producing sweet, soft, ready to drink wines, because low-yielding old Merlot vines made in the way of Pétrus and other top Pomerols frequently possess as much aging potential as any great Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine in the world. Look for the 1995 Pétrus to last for 50+ years." Robert Parker, Bordeaux, Third Edition
