OK, after reading all the reviews and uncorking a bottle myself, I expected an exotic bouquet of berry, chocolate, and flowers. Instead, what entered my quivering nostrils was a smell of sweat, mothballs, and sewage. What's even worse is that this taste lingered for hours, just like garlic. Needless to say I was shocked and disappointed. Maybe, 2009 will be a better year?

Deep, healthy red-ruby color. Multidimensional aromas of mulberry, plum, smoked meat, leather and mocha are at once vibrant and slightly wild. Then sweet, densely packed and powerful, and showing little or no sign of the excesses of the vintage. This... Stephen Tanzer. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2003 Petrus 750ml

Extraordinary nose of berry, chocolate and flowers. Amazing, jaw-dropping quality. Full-bodied, with supersilky, seductive tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes. Out of this world. Best after 2014. 2,000 cases made. -JS Wine Spectator. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2003 Petrus 750ml

Fleshy, fat, and already sexy, the dark plum/purple-tinged 2003 Petrus is exceptionally ripe and rich. While not as exotic as its rival, Lafleur, it is rich, heady, and loaded. A tour de force in winemaking for Pomerol, it vindicates Christian Moueix... Robert Parker. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2003 Petrus 750ml


Winemaker's Notes:

Parker review: "Fleshy, fat, and already sexy, the dark plum/purple-tinged 2003 Petrus is<br/>exceptionally ripe and rich. While not as exotic as its rival, Lafleur, it is<br/>rich, heady, and loaded. A tour de force in winemaking for Pomerol, it<br/>vindicates Christian Moueix?s decision to harvest nearly all his Merlot on<br/>September 3 and 4, and the Cabernet Franc on September 17. However, production<br/>is tiny ... less than 1,700 cases. Full-bodied, powerful, and exceptionally<br/>pure without losing its nobility and elegance, this stunning Petrus can be<br/>drunk in 2-3 years or cellared for three decades."<br/><br/>95/100 pts. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2006)
