The delicious 2007 is the first Petrus in a number of years that can be drunk immediately. Relatively big for the vintage, it offers a dark plum/ruby/purple color as well as aromas of mulberries, black cherries, cedarwood, and soil undertones, loads of fruit, a plump, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and low acidity. It should drink nicely for 15 or more years.

Wonderful aromas of violet, rose and blackberry. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium-to-long finish. Pretty.

Bramble, black plum and cassis are all there giving a complex richness to the nose. The palate is fleshed out by the rich mix of black fruits, the mouth filling suppleness enhanced by the ripeness of the tannins. Despite all this power there is an underlying fragrance and real elegance showing on the finish.
