  Decanter
  Truly flavoursome, the blackberry, raspberry puree and rich black cherry fruits here are dense, generous and fully ripe, but manage to retain a savoury rosemary, coffee bean and black olive edge. It makes you smile involuntarily, in that way that great wine does. You almost want to forbid people from eating anything with this wine, at least for the first glass, and certainly forbid them from putting it on a table with other trophy wines where its impact will be softened. It demands - and should receive - full concentration. Textured slate runs through the mid-palate and brings a jolt of minerality through the finish. You could drink this today after carafing but you just know that it's barely out of the starting blocks."

  Weinwisser
  Sattes Purpur-Granat. Verrücktes Bouquet, warme Cassisfrucht, viel reife Maulbeeren, zarte Kräuternuancen und eine hauchfeine Weihrauchnote, Pralinen von ganz reifem Merlot, komplex und wohlig warm, ohne eine Spur von Dörrfrüchten zu zeigen. Am Gaumen eine Orgie wie damals der 1998er, in der Fülle an den burgundischen 1990er erinnernd, besitzt viel Kraft, eine gut stützende, das Extrakt so richtig zur Explosion bringende Säure, kandierte Zitronenschalen, Karamell, Haselnussöl und wieder Schokotöne von zartesten Kakaobohnen. Ein legendärer, heroischer Petrus für die Geschichtsbücher, der in jeder Beziehung exorbitante Sphären erklimmen wird - also auch preislich."

  The Wine Advocate
  Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Petrus gives up glorious scents of preserved plums, redcurrant jelly, dried rose petals, blackberry compote and mulberries with touches of licorice, Chinese five spice and fragrant earth. Full, rich, plushly textured and oh-so-decadent, it reveals layer upon layer of spice box, black fruit and ferrous notions, finishing long and fragrant."

  Wine Spectator
  This offers a beautiful balance between its two sides: dark fig, roasted plum and toast flavors versus racy raspberry, cassis and perfumy black tea notes. Silky overall, but with terrific latent grip and a mouthwatering minerality that drives through the finish, pulling out extra fruit paste and charred spice hints. Very, very impressive range. Best from 2018 through 2035. 2,915 cases made."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  2009 Petrus is deep ruby with purple tints at the rim of the glass. Spice, plums, blackberries, and blueberries, with cinnamon, clay, mint, mocha, and kirsch, make up the complex perfume. From a blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the wine is rich, concentrated and packed with surreal levels of glycerin. This viscous, thrilling treat provides a seamless, intensely pure finish of spice, jammy cherries, and chocolate."

  Tons of truffle and chocolate make this lush and fleshy Pomerol very seductive. The power and concentration are impressive, but right at the opulent and silky finish there's just a hint of warmth from the alcohol. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)."

  Wine Enthusiast
  Rich, sweet and concentrated, with a definite spicy character and sweet, soft tannins. This is richer than many Pétrus in the past, textured like velvet, but with final acidity."

  Mid bright crimson. Mild and well balanced without showiness. Very sweet. Thick, dense and rather essence-like. This should have a long life. Quite refreshing actually! Great savour on the end."

  Blaubeerkompott und etwas Eukalyptus, Kräutertöne, Nougat und Schokotrüffel, Salbei. Am Gaumen dicht mit mehligem, anhaftendem Gerbstoff besetzt, eher knappe Säure, mittlere Saftigkeit, die phenolische Komponente hält lange an, homogen und kraftvoll. Leichte Adstringenz (positiv), hat allerdings nicht die letzte Frische und Strahlkraft in der Frucht."
