Chateau Petrus 2000 Chateau Petrus 2000 Pomerol Packed in owc within plain carton In 2011, an incredible 'Christmas pudding' bouquet of great richness and density. Plums and cloves, in that inimitable Petrus way. Total, wrap-around, fleshy flavours and texture on the palate. Lush and plush. An absolute, outright star and a rarity in every way. If ever there were a wine that enfolds you, this is it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 15 6 bts (owc) per lot: GBP 12000-16000 per lot: USD 19500-26000 per lot: EUR 14000-19000 The very word Petrus creates a "frisson" unlike any other wine name - and the liquid in the glass induces a dream-like silence as its enormous, almost roasted flavour envelops the palate. The sheer exoticism of this revered vineyard, where clay combines with Merlot to make something wildly heady, needs to be experienced by everyone once in their life (preferably many more times!). Petrus does not taste like other Bordeaux - it is not "classic" but stupendously original, full of oriental spice box flavours which unfold endlessly. A one-off wine that inhabits a world of its own and, of course, a rarity due to its small (11.5 hectares) size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW LYING IN GREENFORD, MIDDLESEX Offered Duty Paid only Quantity: 1
