Descripción

Petrus 2000 forma parte de los favoritos de todos los amantes del vino. Es el fiel reflejo de los suelos arcillosos de Pomerol, donde crecen las viejas cepas de Merlot y Cabernet Franc, y de un microclima excepcional. Nos regala una boca untuosa y una persistencia placentera en el paladar. Intenso, complejo y tremendamente expresivo, se trata de un vino que se ha ganado la aprobación de la crítica con nada más y nada menos que 100 puntos Parker.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

A prodigious Petrus, this wine has that extra level of intensity and complexity that is monumental. The magic is clearly Petrus, and the 2000 will always be an interesting vintage to compare to another legend in the making, the 1998, or more recently, of course, the 2005, 2008, and 2009. Extremely full-bodied, with great fruit purity, an unmistakable note of underbrush, black truffle, intense black cherries, licorice, and mulberry, the wine seems to show no evidence of oak whatsoever. It has a sumptuous, unctuous texture, plenty of tannin, but also vibrancy and brightness. This is a remarkable wine that seems slightly more structured and massive than the 1998, which comes across as slightly more seamless, as if it were haute couture. This wine needs at least another 5-10 years of cellaring and should age for 50+ years.
