Petrus 2003

The 2003 Pétrus, made predominantly from Merlot with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc, exhibits a deep ruby colour and a complex, expressive nose of ripe black fruits, truffles, and earthy undertones. The hot growing season resulted in a wine with a rich, opulent texture and concentrated flavours. On the palate, it offers full-bodied, velvety tannins, and notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and hints of spice. This vintage can be enjoyed now, but it may continue to evolve and improve in the cellar for several more years.
