Tasting Notes and Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 01/01/2003 A very Medoc-like Petrus, and somewhat in the style of the wines made during most of the eighties, this dark plum/garnet-colored wine shows plenty of amber at the edge and a sweet nose of melted caramel, licorice, roasted herbs, and sweet curranty and cherry fruit. The wine is medium-bodied, slightly austere, but very complex and elegant. The wine has been fully mature since the early nineties. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 1/02. Excellent, but even more highly regarded elsewhere than by me, the 1966 Petrus has a cedar, herbaceous, sweet, fruity bouquet and is full bodied, with very good viscous, ripe, berry flavors. This big, dense, somewhat coarse wine seems just a trifle out of synch. The 1966 Petrus has plenty of tannin, alcohol, and flavor, but they have never fully meshed. Anticipated maturity: Now-2002. Last tasted, 6/91. (89)
