1996

Petrus is an iconic winery located in Pomerol, France, known for producing some of the most sought-after and expensive wines in the world. The estate is family-owned and has a long history dating back to the 18th century.

The 1996 Petrus from Pomerol is a classic Bordeaux blend of predominantly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc. This wine has a deep garnet color and offers complex aromas of black cherry, truffle, leather, and cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins and flavors of ripe dark fruit, spices, and earth. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering note of tobacco and mocha. This wine is drinking beautifully now but has the potential to age gracefully for many more years.
