2006 Petrus Bordeaux Blend
Reviews of 2006 Petrus Bordeaux Blend
94-96 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 2007
The most backward, tannic, and powerful wine of the appellation, the 2006 Petrus reveals classic herb-tinged, caramel, and sweet black cherry notes intermixed with mocha and spice box. With impressive density, high tannin, full body, and an unyielding style, it will be at its finest between 2020-2050+. This is certainly among the longest-lived wines of the vintage.
95-100 points, Wine Spectator
April 2007
Displays a solid core of fruit, with spice and cherry. Builds on the palate, with silky-textured tannins and a long finish. Seamless. This was picked before the rain. —J.S.
About 2006 Petrus Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Petrus
"The Pomerol appellation is comprised of small properties producing modest quantities of generally excellent wines, at expensive prices. Pomerols are usually rich and full-bodied red wines, which blend the aromas of black cherry, black currant and blackberry. These are well-structured and complex wines. Château Petrus' vineyards cover 5.5 acres and produce 35,000 bottles per year. Thanks to the astute management of Christian Moueix and his team, Petrus is reputed to be the best Pomerol in the world. Indeed, the processes used by Château Petrus have resulted in the creation of a wine characterized by an intense, dark color, and by extremely delicate tannins."
