Petrus 2003 Bordeaux's most intensely concentrated, richly flavored and unique red wine. An incredible power, depth and richness yet a remarkable balance with penetrating aromas of ripe mulberry, black currant and fruit and a spicy vanilla oak, setting it apart from all Bordeaux's finest wines. Critical Acclaim 98 Wine Spectator Extraordinary nose of berries, chocolate and flowers. Amazing, jaw-dropping quality. Full-bodied, with super silky, seductive tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes. Out of this world. Best after 2014. 2,000 cases made. 95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Fleshy, fat, and already sexy, the dark plum/purple-tinged 2003 Petrus is exceptionally ripe and rich. While not as exotic as its rival, Lafleur, it is rich, heady, and loaded. A tour de force in winemaking for Pomerol, it vindicates Christian Moueix’s decision to harvest nearly all his Merlot on September 3 and 4, and the Cabernet Franc on September 17. However, production is tiny ... less than 1,700 cases. Full-bodied, powerful, and exceptionally pure without losing its nobility and elegance, this stunning Petrus can be drunk in 2-3 years or cellared for three decades. Show more
