Pétrus 1993 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine produced in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Pétrus is one of the rarest and most prized labels in Bordeaux. The 11.4ha property is located on a plateau on the highest part of Pomerol and is planted to 95% Merlot growing on clay soils. The grand vin is fermented in cement vats and aged in 100% new oak barrels for up to 28 months. Rich and concentrated, these wines should only be broached after a decade in bottle, while the best vintages may age well for many years more. "A truly classic Pétrus and comparable to the `88, `86 and `82. Showy and impressive with excellent use of new oak. It delivers loads of toasty coconut and chocolate flavours balanced by plum and blackberry notes. Incredible concentration for the vintage. Supple, long finish." James Suckling, 1996
