Petrus 1998

The 1998 Petrus is a masterclass in Pomerol elegance, displaying mineral-driven precision that sets it apart from the vintage's more opulent expressions. Black fruit and red cherry emerge with crystalline purity, while a subtle hickory note adds compelling complexity. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and perfect acidity, there's an underlying tension that elevates this beyond mere power into the realm of artistry. The finish is long and haunting, confirming this as one of Bordeaux's greatest achievements of the decade.
