[Chateau Petrus 1982]

Robert Parker Rating: 98/100

Chateau Petrus is undoubtedly the most prestigious estate in the Pomerol region, and its terroir is indeed made up of very fine and expansive clay, which slowly absorbs and replenishes the vines' moisture. Chateau Petrus only produces one type of red wine, and its brilliant and incredible reputation comes from crafting a rich, velvety red wine filled with flavors of blackcurrants, cherries, licorice, violets, and truffles.The red wine of Chateau Petrus is indeed very concentrated, with rich and meaty fruit flavors, but it is also renowned for its astonishing balance and long finish.

"This is still one of the best red wines I've ever tasted."Compared to other tastings, Chateau Petrus 1982 performed strongly in Philadelphia, where it wasn't as spectacular.The color shows some amber at the edges. It exudes sweet aromas of caramel, roasted vanilla, cherry jam, cedar, and smoke, followed closely by a rich, full-bodied, smooth, low-acid taste, nearing full maturity.For the Chateau Petrus 1982, which has exhibited irregular performance since its inception, this is a dazzling display.Although still rich in tannins, this wine is sweet, smoky, and perfect for drinking now and over the next 20-25 years."
