Product information

The 1975 Petrus reveals a youthful, rustic, brutally powerful style, with an opaque garnet/ruby/purple colour, and an emerging nose of over-ripe black-cherries, mocha/chocolate, and truffles. Extremely full-bodied, ferociously tannic, but awesomely concentrated, the 1975 Petrus can be drunk, provided readers have a penchant for slightly uncivilised wines. This behemoth Petrus (the last made in this style) is at least a decade away from full maturity. It is potentially a 50 year wine, with exquisite concentration and intensity. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series I of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. Robert Parker 98 points (Feb 1996)

Unfortunately I have only drunk Petrus 5 times so far. 1996 strong colour with a clear brown tone, mint, pencil, a lot of power on the palate, chocolate, still strong tannins, very long finish, had survived 8 hours of decanting! - 97/100. A few months later in the Italien Village in Chicago in comparison to the 70, visually not optimal(ts), but with convincing content, strong colour without ageing tones, currently inferior to the 70, certainly needs another 5-10 years, whereby hopefully the fruit will survive - 96/100. 2005 at René Gabriel's big Petrus tasting still an impetuous contemporary, spicy, herbaceous, biting tannins, strong, carrying acidity, plus mint tones, but also chocolate and an intense minerality, a hypothetical mixture of the best years of Lafleur and Heitz Martha's Vineyard and still far from finished - 98/100. 2007 in the Braui again this hypothetical mixture of the best years Lafleur and Heitz Martha's Vineyard, spicy, herbal, biting tannins, strong, carrying acidity, in addition mint tones, but also chocolate and an intense minerality - 99+/100. Similarly in 2008 with the Ungers, still very fresh and in the best sense an exotic, wild wine, very minty and herbaceous with still massive tannins, remained on the palate for ages, great substance with a great future and a clear 100-point candidate - 98+/100. Most recently in 2008, the most open bottle to date, where I had 100/100 in the glass without any ifs or buts (source: wineterminator.com Dr Becker).
