Pétrus--Vintage 2004
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
In original wooden case
"The dark plum/ruby-tinged 2004 Pétrus possesses high acidity as well as copious amounts of sweet cherries and black currants intermixed with hints of cola, earth, and truffles. Deep, medium-bodied, concentrated, ripe flavors are excruciatingly firm and tannic. This backward, structured, muscular Pomerol requires a decade of cellaring, but it possesses the potential to be the longest lived wine of the vintage, lasting 30-40 years. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #171 Jun 2007
