The nose is lavish and expressive, offering mulberries, black cherries, subtle toast, licorice, and a refined floral edge.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied, richly textured, and multi-dimensional, with a sweet, velvety tannin profile that gives the wine both power and approachability. The fruit is ripe and rounded, yet there is remarkable complexity beneath the surface, with a long, seamless finish and the structure to age beautifully for decades. Anticipated maturity: 2016–2050+.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePetrus comes from Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, where the estate’s distinctive terroir and old Merlot vines are central to its character.
