An opulent Petrus very much in the stylistic family of the 1990, this 100% Merlot has a dense plum/purple color and a sweet nose of mulberries, black cherries, some subtle toast and licorice as well as a floral element. A wine of great intensity, a multidimensional mouthfeel and full-bodied, stunning concentration, the 2009 Petrus is everything one would expect of it. Given the sweetness of its tannin, much like the 1990, I suspect this wine will always be “open for business,” appealing even in its youth.
This offers a beautiful balance between its two sides: dark fig, roasted plum and toast flavors versus racy raspberry, cassis and perfumy black tea notes. Silky overall, but with terrific latent grip and a mouthwatering minerality that drives through the finish, pulling out extra fruit paste and charred spice hints. Very, very impressive range.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 20/20 points.
Moeten we nog iets positiefs zeggen als een wijn de maximale scores haalt en de naam is "Petrus " ? Nog erg jong om echt goed in te schatten, maar dat dit hoger dan een 9.5 gaat worden, lijkt wel zeker. En over 10 jaar nog onbetaalbaarder......
