Heiner Lobenberg über:

Lobenberg: Petrus hat in diesem Topjahr des rechten Ufers ohne Zweifel den Vogel abgeschossen. Enorm reich, dicht voll, total konzentriert und doch mit genialem Trinkfluss.

Parker über: Chateau Petrus

-- Parker: The greatest wine produced at this estate since the formidable duo of 1989 and 1990 is the 1998 Pétrus, a magical bottle that is a lot more complex and expressive today than was the case only a handful of years ago. Bursting with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, violets, licorice and black truffle, it's full-bodied, rich and seamless, with incredible depth at the core, beautifully refined tannins and a long, resonant finish. Even though this is probably the richest, most textural wine of the vintage, the 1998 isn't quite as broad and concentrated as the 1989, but if anything, it's even more precise and delineated.

Neal Martin über: Chateau Petrus

-- Neal Martin: First tasted at the MW vertical with Christian Moueix. Very deep ruby colour. A profound nose of black fruits, quite masculine with hints of black truffle. Turning mocha with aeration. Very complex. The palate is perfect. Incredible concentration and balance. Perfect acidity. Dense black fruits laced with black pepper. Less showy than the 2000, this is a more intellectual wine. Backward, broody with the length of a Lord of the Rings trilogy. A behemoth that will become a benchmark Petrus. Then at the FWE vertical in October 2005. An incredible broody nose of powerful blackberry, cassis and a touch of gun smoke with that black truffle scent developing with aeration. The palate is lithe, sweet, focused, powerful and very complex. A little more weight than the 2000, though its has closed down since last year. More masculine, a long-term Petrus that reminds me of the 1989. Will be legendary.

Wine Spectator über: Chateau Petrus

-- Wine Spectator: Green olives and blackberry jam, with hints of vanilla and Indian spices. Some dark chocolate too. Complex nose. Very full-bodied, with dense, dark fruits and a licorice undertone, yet the huge tannin structure is polished and almost seamless. A massive and powerful wine, yet balanced and refined. Fantastic. Just a beautiful baby still.--'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). 99/100

Galloni über: Chateau Petrus

-- Galloni: Tasted at the Pomerol Comparative Exploration tasting in London, the 1998 Petrus must surely be the decade's pinnacle of the Right Bank. The aromatics are a masterclass of control and precision, yet it is also one of the most intense bouquets that has ever been produced at the estate. Dark berries, black truffle, hints of violet and iris, a touch of Indian ink burst from the glass all with otherworldly delineation so that the aromas never overwhelm. The palate is supremely controlled with filigree tannin, a silver bead of acidity and utter harmony. Compared to a few years ago, this Petrus appears to have calmed down since its exuberant youth, gaining maturity and sophistication. This is a 'complete' Petrus that is magnificent in every department. 99/100

Petrus

Ist Petrus nun der berühmteste Rotwein der Welt? Aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach ja. In jedem Fall ist er aber einer der mit der größten Sorgfalt produzierten Weine der Welt. Bis vor kurzem wurde neben dem Merlot auch ein Teil Cabernet Sauvignon angebaut. Jean-François Moueix, der Eigentümer von...
