It averages around $6,000 to $8,000 per 750ml bottle and earned a rare 100-point score from critics like Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast for its massive structure and aging potential Professional Reviews 100 Vinous Review Date: 04/2021 The 2005 Petrus is dazzling. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2005 possesses magnificent density from start to finish. An exotic mélange of cedar, blood orange, spicebox, mint and dried flowers leads into a core of deep, concentrated fruit. All the elements meld together seamlessly in a Petrus that simply has it all. Readers fortunate enough to taste it will find a statuesque, monumental Petrus that is both powerful and refined. The 2005 continued to improve as I tasted it into the second day. It is without question one of the standout wines of 2005. 100 Wine Enthusiast Review Date: 06/2008 As so often, Pétrus has the ability to charm and impress, to seduce and overwhelm. This 2005, one of the greatest vintages from this great chateau, is massive and concentrated, with flavors of ripe black figs, chocolate and dark plums. Put that all together and the result is the utmost deliciousness, freshness and elegance. A major wine. (RV) 100 Wine Spectator Review Date: 03/2008 A sleeping giant. Dark ruby in color, showing aromas of blackberry, cèpe and green olive, with a hint of mineral. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a supercaressing mouthfeel. Turns to coffee, dark chocolate and berry. Chewy yet balanced. Very, very long in the mouth. The finish is absolutely breathtaking. (JS) Price: $4800. Please Note: Will only entertain a local cash deal in the San Francisco bay area. If interested, please leave contact phone number.
