Michael Schuster: Very dense and persistent mineral and blackberry ripe fruit; a rich, elegant aristocratic balance, fresh in acidity, and with a very fine-textured tannin; sweet in flavor, a striking combination of fruit density, spice, and minerality, wonderfully fresh, long, and elegant; tenaciously mouth-coating but transparently pure, too, with terrific aromatic persistence. An effortless richness; a truly beautiful, most individual Pétrus. 2025–50. 19/19.5

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: This Pétrus will be, without a doubt, one of the greatest ever. The wine displays the habitual but unparalleled round, silky texture of Pétrus, but also has amazing power and depth. This combination of strength and softness gives the wine a unique personality that will continue to improve as the wine ages. 19.5/20
