Chateau Petrus 2008 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)It is hard to call Petrus a sleeper of the vintage, but the 2008 will merit more attention than most consumers would think. Low yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare resulted in only 25,000 bottles of this beauty. A wine of great intensity (possibly the most concentrated wine of the vintage), this 100% Merlot boasts a dark purple color as well as a sweet perfume of mocha, caramel, black cherries, black currants, earth and forest floor. Deep, unctuously

silky character

unsmoked cigars and baked cherries with wafts of wild thyme and tilled soil

This is lovely and should reward 4 to 6 years of cellaring

crème de cassis
