While the vintage didn't deliver the density of warmer years, this wine makes up for it with incredible aromatic detail, silky tannins, and a beautifully seamless texture. Think violets, plums, and subtle spice, all wrapped in a graceful frame. A more delicate, refined side of Pétrus—and one that’s absolutely captivating.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 97\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 21, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRefined, subtle and elegant, with aromas of violets, nutmeg, sandalwood, bark and plums that follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine.

Expressions of dark crimson berries, damson, plums, raspberries, redcurrant fruit, blackcurrant, touches of blood orange zest, cherry perfume and pink flowers on the nose - I could go on..! The aromatic intensity is exceptional and just so beguiling. This has such a seamless continuation of flavours and aromas from start to finish - a consistency, all flowing gracefully - neat, clear and pure. You're not going to find the most rich, dense or exuberant of wines here, that's obvious given the vintage conditions, but this is such an excellent wine from Olivier Berrouet working with the vintage. There is a taffeta quality to the fine and layered tannins that coat the mouth and give an aerial sensation. Juicy and succulent, the acidity comprises part of the structure and carries the expression of the red berry and stone fruit and salty minerality that appears on the finish. Structured with backbone, this is confident in its intensity and momentum but still so refined and finessed. Sublime in its delicacy and grace giving a gentle energy.\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Natural Cork\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 13.30%\u003cbr\u003eBody: Medium\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: 100% Merlot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e| \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 8, 2024\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2027-2061\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mnmd-review__summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom barrel, the 2021 Pétrus was decidedly muscular and introverted, but élevage has certainly tamed it, delivering a result that's much more sensual and charming than I could have imagined. Offering up aromas of ripe cherries, mulberries, rose petals, licorice and violets, it's full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a suave, seamless, lively profile and a bright, perfumed finish. This wine, which was racked out of barrel two months earlier than usual, will offer an unusually broad drinking window. In style, it reminds me somewhat of the estate's 2011.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40684273041472,"sku":"RDFR20212821","price":6360.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/petrus-pomerol-750ml.jpg?v=1762933581","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/petrus-pomerol-2021-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
