9.1

Nose is ripe and a bit less expressive than the 12. But a bit vulgar and overripe. Tar, ripe cassis, and tobacco. Palate is ripe, silky and nice enough but lack energy and distinction. I’d drink this. Long finish. Pretty good purity. — 5 years ago

9.1

Tasted at the winery. 100% Merlot. Young, elegant, 18 mos in barrique. In a few years may get some extra points - 8.9 as of 2018
Revisited in April 2022. Now it’s much better, still good potential for ageing, good balance. 1 hour decant — 7 years ago

Lots of oak, berries and currant. A great Tuscan Italian wine for a reasonable price — 5 years ago

To me it’s like you take a really good, less bracingly acidic Chianti Classico, and put it in the hands of a winemaker with French sensibility in a terroir full of Mediterranean garrigue — 6 years ago

A little sulphuric at first but quite a nice rosé! Bright rose hue, fresh fruit and flowers on the nose. Dry, crisp wine with good sapidity. — 7 years ago

9.2

Rustic and funky. One of my favorite Petras for the price. Black bramble fruit, charred meat, graphite, green peppercorn, white sage. This would be outstanding with roasted wild boar. — 9 years ago

Incredible!!! First heavy on citrus, but immediately changed to the perfect 1-3 course @ Petra and the Beast!! — 6 years ago

Super Tuscan Red Blend. Dark Cherry Fruit flavors. Hints of pepper spice, tobacco and dried herbs. Bright acidity. Mild tannins but big enough at the same time. — 6 years ago

Don’t know much of this but he showed up late night. A little beauty carved out nowhere. Lucky for me. A little young if I had to find a fault. — 7 years ago
