  "Dunkles, intensives Weinrot, feiner Rand aussen. Verhaltenes, leicht dumpfes Bouquet, erdige Süsse, pflaumige, aber trockene Töne darunter, in der Nase bereits etwas welk wirkend, zarte Kräutertöne. Im Gaumen recht fest, leicht kapselige, feinsandige Konturen, recht satter Körper, wieder vermissen wir eine gewisse Grundaromatik, nach einer halben Stunde zulegend, wahrscheinlich das interessanteste Potenzial aller 1992er, Schoko- und Bountyaromen im nachklingenden Finish."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 1992 Petrus is clearly one of the two candidates for the "wine of the vintage." The normal production of 4,500 cases was severely reduced to only 2,600 cases, resulting in an atypically concentrated, powerful, rich wine with a dark, saturated ruby/purple color, a tight but promising nose of sweet black-cherry fruit, vanillin, caramel, and herb-tinged mocha notes. Concentrated and powerful, with superb density of fruit and richness, as well as wonderful sweetness to its tannin, this is a brilliant effort for the vintage. The wine requires 3-5 years of cellaring and should keep for 15-20+."
