"Deep garnet-purple in color

candied peel and spruce bough

do not touch a bottle before the turn of the century

their 2008s look to be among the top wines I tasted in that year

with the first vintage produced in 2011

Petrus 2011 6-Pack OWC 750mL White Burg "Deep garnet-purple in color"A dense ruby purple tinged color and restrained but intriguing aromas of kirsch, raspberry jam, wood spice, and mulberries are found in this full bodied Petrus. An undeniable success in 2011, it is rich, layered and pure with light to moderate tannin, but seems slightly less muscular and tannic compared to its stablemate, Trotanoy. Forget it for a few years and drink it over the following 25 years. Made from 100% Merlot, it tips the scales at 13. 5%
