Petrus 1996 Magnum - Bordeaux, France

Reigning as one of the most notable estates in Bordeaux and producing one of Pomerol’s most important wines, Château Petrus’ blends are endlessly collectable. The label dates back to 1837 – although it came into favour in 1962 when bought by the Moueix family – and grows its Merlot grapes on a seven-hectare, clay-based vineyard, where every berry is hand-picked after the morning dew has evaporated. The 1996 iteration is a full-bodied, opaque wine with sweet berries intermingling with earthy notes and high levels of tannins. This wine requires patience and is suited to be cellared until 2035.
