An Alberta based sommelier and wine importer who has been collecting for almost 30 Years. She has travelled to various regions around the world tasting some of the best wines and simply fell in love. The wine was sourced directly from the vineyard or producer and through Willow Park Wines. All bottles were stored laying down in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
The score for 1997 Petrus Pomerol is 91 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The backward 1997 (2,300 cases produced) needs 3-4 years of cellaring. The dense plum/ruby/purple color is accompanied by a closed bouquet of mocha, dried tomato skin, and black fruits. In the mouth, it is one of the most muscular 1997s, exhibiting outstanding concentration, length, intensity, and depth, copious tannin, and a fine mouth-feel.
