Chateau Petrus 2003 Chateau Petrus 2003 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel Lot 6650-Lot 6651: Cases banded prior to inspection A gloriously vivid, almost rose-hip nose. Extraordinary freshness, which is always the surprise in this very hot vintage, the result of all the experience of the Moueix/Berrouet team. Great ground coffee taste. Glycerol and liquorice on the middle palate, but the finish is not huge. Totally in balance. Serena Sutcliffe, MW See illustration Lot 6650 12 bts (2 owc) Lot 6651 12 bts (2 owc) per lot: HKD 130000-170000 per lot: USD 17000-20000 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 (11.4 hectare) size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
