Petrus, Pomerol, France 2005 Corsica Lingering finish

Lingering finish

this hand-picked wine holds promise in its weight

light bodied with bright acid and good balance

The wine is not as vertical as it was in previous years

The sleeker and finer middle weight flavors that are at once suave and succulent before culminating in a lingering and solid complex finish that tightens up on the youthfully austere finale

Petrus, Pomerol, France 2005 Corsica Lingering finishAs so often, Ptrus 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. 100 Pts Wine Enthusiast
