The 2019 Petrus is a powerful, heady wine, bursting from the glass with
aromas of raspberries, cassis, violets, spices, licorice and kirsch.
Full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with an ample core of fruit, lively
acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the liqueured finish,
it's a ripe, high-octane Petrus that reflects the influence of a dry,
warm growing season on what is essentially a single cepage (Merlot) and
a single soil type (clay).
