The 2001 Petrus has always been among winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet’s favourite vintages. There’s not many 2001s I know of that will compete with the 2001 Petrus. Still youthfully ruby in colour, it offers an incredibly complex perfume of blackcurrants, forest floor, white truffles and Asian spices. These give way to a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, opulent, hedonistic, yet also elegant 2001 that has loads of sweet tannin, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great, great finish. 95 points Robert Parker
