[Chateau Petrus 1998]
Robert Parker rating: 98/100 Chateau Petrus 1998From the Pomerol top estate on the right bank of Bordeaux, France—Chateau Petrus.Chateau Petrus primarily produces Merlot, only occasionally blending in a small amount of Cabernet Franc in certain years. In recent years, it has been made with 100% Merlot, achieving exceptionally high quality. Currently, ten vintages have received a perfect score from Robert Parker, and James Suckling even wrote a dedicated piece calling Petrus his favorite wine.The tannins of Chateau Petrus are soft, with a texture as smooth as velvet, carrying unique notes of dark fruits, olives, dark chocolate, and a hint of earthy aromas.Whether still aging in the barrel or in its mature stage after decades, it is an astonishing wine. "Chateau Petrus 1998 is undoubtedly a legendary wine, exhibiting a deep garnet/purple color, with extraordinary black fruit and caramel aromas intertwined, accompanied by the remarkable fragrances of mocha coffee and vanilla."Exceptionally pure, super concentrated, and round-bodied, it possesses high acidity and sweet tannins, showcasing a rich mid-palate.In addition, there is the well-known luxurious richness of Chateau Petrus.The aftertaste can last for 40 to 45 seconds.Tasting requires extreme patience." Grape variety: 100% Merlot
