Everything great Bordeaux should be. Cork crumbled in the Durand but first sniff and I knew it was on. Waves of saddle leather, tobacco, cedar, forrest floor and cherries. The wine was intense but more feminine than I expected, a great balance. Truly one of the best and most memorable bottles I've had the last few years. This is what drinking wine is all about, experiences that shake you to your core. — 11 years ago

This wine is damn near perfect. So many layers of spice, florals, herbs, soil, dark fruit, red fruit-- so soft and truly velvety on the palate, it's actually soothing to drink. Bravo. — 11 years ago

A truly awesome bottle of #Petrus from a bygone era when #Bordeaux tasted like Bordeaux and not like just another red wine... — 12 years ago

2001 vintage. Quite fresh and youthful despite the age. Honey and nuts, apricots and cream. On the palate, medium plus acidity and medium alcohol, medium body. Great depth to this wine. Still has a good decade ahead of it. No oxidation whatsoever on this bottle. A truly great example of hermitage Blanc. — 11 years ago

1959 and still with strong fruit, a powerful, finessed body, and beautiful structure - great acidity to balance the strong body. Smooth with a vibrant kick, but definitely some expected musty earth with this age. Fruit is a bit raisinated but present and persistent. Don't dally once it's open - enjoy! Truly a well made wine. Tasting this was a wonderful reward after sweating through getting the cork out safely! — 11 years ago
