Pétrus--Vintage 2000
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
US integrated labels
" A magical effort from Pétrus, the 2000 has continued to gain weight and stature. From the bottle, it is a perfect wine, much like the 1998. The color is inky plum/purple to the rim and the nose, which starts slowly, begins to roar after several minutes, offering up scents of smoke, blackberries, cherries, licorice, and an unmistakable truffle underbrush element. On the palate, this enormous effort is reminiscent of dry vintage port, with fabulous ripeness, a huge, unctuous texture, enormous body, and a colossal 65-second finish... Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)
