    • Petrus is not actually a 'chateau' per se, although it is often referred to as such.

      Critic tasting note: (1998 vintage) "Having not had the pleasure of this wine until recently, I managed to taste it twice within 90 days. Although this bottle was beautiful, it was just a little less interesting than the previous bottle. Still, there was a gorgeous, silky, opulent, sexy nature that came along with loads of energetic, pure, sweet, ripe, fresh cherries, plums, cocoa and a dash of herbs. Rich, full and long, this is also youthful. I am sure another 5 years will add even more here as it felt like the wine was still holding back its full potential. 98 Points" - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
