The 1945 Petrus Pomerol is a legendary Bordeaux from a historic vintage, renowned for its power, structure, and longevity. With a 98-point rating from Robert Parker, it stands as one of the finest expressions of Petrus ever produced.

While the 1947 Petrus is a big, juicy, succulent, fruity wine, the 1945 remains a backward, tannic colossus needing another 5-10 years of cellaring. The color reveals more purple hues than the 1947, and the nose offers aromas of black fruits, licorice, truffles, and smoked meat. Massively-constituted, with formidably high tannin and extract levels, this sleeping giant may evolve into another perfect example of Petrus.
