Pétrus Pomerol 2004

Pétrus is widely acclaimed as one of the most esteemed and exorbitantly priced wines globally. Familiar to many and tasted by few, Pétrus is synonymous with the most luxurious and collectable of fine and rare wines. It has garnered a reputation for its unparalleled richness and full-bodied flavor profile, characterized by discernible nuances of dark fruit, truffle, leather, and spice. The meticulous aging process in oak barrels spanning several years imparts an intricately layered and refined taste to this extraordinary wine.

"The dark plum/ruby-tinged 2004 Petrus possesses high acidity as well as copious amounts of sweet cherries and black currants intermixed with hints of cola, earth, and truffles. Deep, medium-bodied, concentrated, ripe flavors are excruciatingly firm and tannic. This backward, structured, muscular Pomerol requires a decade of cellaring, but it possesses the potential to be the longest lived wine of the vintage, lasting 30-40 years. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035."
