Note di degustazione
The 2011 Petrus has plenty of fruit on the nose, elegant and floral, redcurrant and raspberry fruit, a touch of crushed stone and pressed rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with a rich and quite extravagant style of the finish, lightly spiced with a rounded, velvety-smooth and quite dense finish. Maybe it just conveys a little more winemaking that the terroir at the moment? Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Simple crimson. Modulated, mild nose. Low key. This might be a disappointment if people have paid a high price for this. A little drying on the end. (JR)
The 2011 Petrus has a curious bouquet. Juxtaposed blind against its peers, there is a touch more volatility and an odd tincture of sur-maturité , touches of prune and fig infusing the ripe, confit-like red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin and crisp acidity, although it feels a little dense and blocky towards the finish and missing the precision one would expect at this level. It does not quite convey the complexity and depth of a top-flight Petrus and it would seem that the 2012 is far ahead. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
Ripe, spicy damson-fruit aroma. Extremely firm grip on the palate, the tannins are chalky and compact, letting very little escape on the palate right now. But it is fresh on the finish and seems pretty complete. (JH)
