This BC resident received his wine as a gift/investment from his uncle when he was a child. The 1997 Petrus was bought in honour of his birth year. The wine was purchased through the LCBO’s Bordeaux futures program in the year 2000 and was stored in his uncle’s wine cellar immediately after taking procession.
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. Anticipated maturity
