Details

Château Pétrus 2004 is a wine of elegance and finesse. Its color displays a beautiful deep ruby hue, hinting at the concentration and richness within. The nose is alluring, with aromas of blackberries, cherries, and plums, interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco, and subtle floral hints. On the palate, this wine exhibits a harmonious balance between power and refinement. Ripe fruit flavors of blackcurrants and dark cherries are complemented by hints of graphite and spice. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, providing a velvety texture and a seamless structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and a touch of minerality. Château Pétrus 2004 is a testament to the precision and artistry of its winemaking, showcasing the distinct character of this legendary estate and offering a captivating experience for wine enthusiasts seeking a truly remarkable Bordeaux.


Robert Parker - 92 Points

"The 2004 Petrus is a vintage that I had not tasted for a while and whilst it is an exemplary Pomerol, it does not rank within the top tier of wines from the iconic estate. Nevertheless, it has a wonderful, quite powerful bouquet with kirsch and crushed flowers, violets and truffle, perhaps even a seam of cinnamon in the background. The palate is gently moving into its secondary stage of evolution. The fruit is darker than the 2004 Cheval Blanc tasted (blind) alongside, fine structure, a little broody perhaps but with satisfying depth. Perhaps like the 2004 Haut-Brion, it ticks all the boxes but does not quite deliver the personality or the charm of other vintages and as such, it has never quite achieved the promise it showed from barrel. My comments are begrudging given the quality. But this is Petrus. Tasted September 2016."


Antonio Galloni - 92 Points

"The 2004 Petrus is not one of the strongest wines of the decade, though it remains a fine Pomerol. The bouquet does not hold back with splendid fruit concentration: floral top notes with pressed violets and shaved black truffles, traits I observed in previous bottles. The palate is gracefully moving into its secondary phase with touches of tobacco and warm gravel infusing the red fruit. However, there is a conservative element to this Petrus that opts to play it safe. You do not feel as if it will evolve into something more, which begs the question whether you should continue cellaring it? I see no harm in pulling bottles now, larger formats later."
