2015 Vintage Tasted: Jun 2018

When to drink: 2030 to 2050

Zurückhaltende, fruchtig-würzige Aromatik, voller und doch eleganter Bau, klasse Tannin, das Halt gibt und die Fülle stützt, beeindruckend lang; einer der verschlossensten Weine der Verkostung, der unbedingt reifen muss.

2015 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2018

The aromas to this are a reference for Pomerol with truffles, black olives, black licorice and dark fruit. Even brown sugar. Full-bodied, layered and multi-dimensional. Chocolate underlines the character above. The perfect tannin texture, length and balance make you think you're dreaming. All about harmony and beauty. Love to taste it now but needs at least five or six years.

2015 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2018

This is like drinking liquid black currants and blackberries. The wine has great intensity and richness from the superbly generous Merlot. The wood aging is still there as a hint in the background although the fruit and acidity dominate. Drink from 2026.

2015 Vintage Tasted: May 2016

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, feiner Hauch von Gewürznelken, einladende dunkle Beerenfrucht, zart nach Kardamom, delikate florale Nuancen, ein Hauch von schwarzer Trüffel, verführerisches Bukett. Saftig, extraktsüß, zugleich sehr frisch und elegant, seidige Tannine, die weit tragen, zeigt eine Breitband-Aromatik, süß und lange anhaftend, ein großer Pétrus, vital und mineralisch, mit sicherer Zukunft ausgestattet.

100 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2015 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2016

Violets, lilies and the wrapper of a fine, Cuban cigar appear without the asking and fuse expertly with black and blue fruit, smoke, incense and damp earth. On the palate, this wine is pure eroticism in texture, royal, arousing yet discreet and with an exotic, cherry liqueur, dark chocolate and licorice presence in the finish. There is length, intensity and a deep, decadent endnote that must last at least 60 seconds. Produced from 100% Merlot, the wine reached 14.6% with pH 3.7. The harvest started September 14, finishing September 29. What made this vintage extraordinary for Petrus was the extended hang time, which for most years is close to 45 days. But with the 2015 vintage, the hang time during the harvest took between 50 and 60 days. 99 -

Ruby. Red berries, blueberries, fresh, elegant, nuanced, scented, lively, lovely nose, touch spicy, minerals, superb nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, fruity, red berries, structure, has a leaner mid palate before it takes up again in the finish. Dark fruits and layered, very long.

Vintage quality: Excellent (Legendary)

Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep

For Pomerol, the 2015 vintage was a fabulous year.

The growing season began with an extremely benign winter, which led to a mild spring. However, despite the dewy conditions, budburst was still slightly delayed, presumably down to slightly coo...
