Parker about Peter 2012

Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 Petrus demonstrated a forward, fruit-driven, ripe raspberry and wild strawberry bouquet underneath which lies graphite and forest floor aromas. It seems refined, understated, nonchalant even. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly savory opening, as if there was a tiny drop of Cabernet Franc. The tannins are fine but firm, the red fruit infused with cooked meat, black pepper and sage notes, although I was anticipating a finish armed with more body. That may well develop in time, yet it remains a regal Pomerol that will probably merit a higher score with bottle age, hence the plus-sign against the score. Tasted January 2016.

Suckling over Peter 2012

This shows fabulous length with a chocolate, berry and mineral undertone. Licorice and currants too. Full body yet refined with seamless tannins. Goes on for minutes. It shows such amazing length and elegance. Depth. Phenomenal structure here, especially for the vintage. Reminds me of the 1998 or 1971, which were structured yet very fine.

Produktbeschreibung

Peter 2012


Pétrus 2012 is a legendary wine from the Pomerol region of Bordeaux. This special cuvée is a pure Merlot and comes from a renowned winery. Here's a description of this remarkable vintage:

In the glass, Pétrus 2012 displays a deep, intense ruby ​​red color with possible violet reflections, indicating its youth. The bouquet is extremely enticing and complex, presenting an abundance of dark fruits, including ripe plums, dark cherries, and berries. These are complemented by subtle floral notes of violet, as well as delicate hints of spices such as vanilla, cloves, and a hint of chocolate.

Upon tasting, Pétrus 2012 impresses with a velvety texture and remarkable depth of flavor. On the palate, it offers a harmonious fusion of ripe dark fruits, accompanied by elegant spice and a subtle mineral note. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, giving the wine a structured yet extremely pleasant fullness.

The finish is long and lingers with a graceful balance between fruitiness, spice and a silky texture.

This wine already displays remarkable complexity in its youth, but it has considerable potential for further development. Over the coming years, it is expected to develop even deeper and reveal additional facets of its aromas.

Pétrus 2012 is an outstanding wine, prized for its finesse, elegance, and depth. It is a truly remarkable vintage that embodies the heritage and excellence of the Pétrus estate.
