  Weinwisser
  "Für mich ist der Petrus 2005 bis heute der beste Jungwein, den ich je weltweit vom Fass verkosten durfte. Und auch 18 Jahre später überzeugte dieser Wein mit seiner irren Intensität und Kraft, einer grandiosen Weite und großen Struktur. Einige Verkoster bevorzugten an diesem Abend den etwas eleganteren 2019er. Mit enorm viel Teer im Hintergrund ist der 2005er sehr komplex, wuchtig und komplett. Mit grandioser, drahtiger Spannung und endlosen Kraftreserven bringt dieser impulsive Pomerol eine unbeschreibliche Wucht und Konzentration hervor, ohne dabei schwer oder breit zu erscheinen. Ein monumentaler Petrus, der noch lange reifen kann."

  "Dunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase orientalische Gewürze, feines schwarzes Beerenkonfit, Orangenschalen, Zimt, superbes Fruchtparfüm, etwas Nougat. Am Gaumen ungemein finessenreich, rotbeerig, mit festen Tanninen, die ganz und gar in eine delikate Frucht verpackt sind, frisch strukturiert, zeigt eine beachtliche Länge und Komplexität, hat in den letzten Jahren beachtlich an Fleisch zugelegt und nähert sich einer ersten echten Trinkreife, tolles Potenzial. (Lagern/Trinken + 30)"

  "As so often, Pétrus has the ability to charm and impress, to seduce and overwhelm. This 2005, one of the greatest vintages from this great chateau, is massive and concentrated, with flavors of ripe black figs, chocolate and dark plums. Put that all together and the result is the utmost deliciousness, freshness and elegance. A major wine."

  Wine Spectator
  "A sleeping giant. Dark ruby in color, showing aromas of blackberry, cèpe and green olive, with a hint of mineral. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a supercaressing mouthfeel. Turns to coffee, dark chocolate and berry. Chewy yet balanced. Very, very long in the mouth. The finish is absolutely breathtaking. Best after 2013."

  "Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2005 Petrus needs a lot of coaxing to shake loose the first wave of broody, meaty / savory notes over a powerful core of prunes, fruitcake, unsmoked cigars, and sandalwood. The palate is medium to full-bodied and characteristically concentrated, delivering taut, grainy tannins with a lively line and layers of earthy and mineral-laced black fruit flavors, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. To get the full wow experience out of this titan, give it another 5-10 years in the cellar and then enjoy over the following 25-years+. Petrus is a small, 28-acre estate on the Pomerol plateau, located on a slight, almost imperceptible hill or "buttonhole." It is famous for its crasse de fer soil, which is an iron-rich sub-soil pan beneath which the roots cannot penetrate, providing a layer of measured moisture from below. In most years, the wine is 100% Merlot. Owned by the Moueix family, the property's winemaker was the long-serving Jean-Claude Berrouet in 2005, and now his son Olivier has taken over."

  The Wine Advocate
  "THE WINEADVOCATE: "Offering pure black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, the inky ruby/purple 2005 Petrus is still very young and unyielding, but super-concentrated, powerful, full-bodied and primordial. It is much more backward than the likes of Lafleur, Trotanoy or Hosanna. Nevertheless, it is super-rich, extracted, beautifully balanced and pure. Forget it for another 10-15 years, and drink it over the following half-century. This may well be among the longest-lived wines of 2005."

  "Tasted blind. Very savoury and appetising. Round and sweet. A real charmer with such great balance that I swallowed it! Really lovely. No rough edges. Long."
