Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A relatively strong effort for this vintage, but hardly one of the profound examples of Petrus, this wine exhibits a dark plum color and a somewhat monolithic, foursquare personality with notes of plums, black cherries, licorice, and some herbs and damp earth. Medium-bodied, muscular, and tannic, but lacking some charm and sweetness, it should age nicely for 12-15 more years and possibly be even better than my score. Readers who buy it should not even attempt opening a bottle for at least 4-5 years. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: April 2005. Drinking window: 2009 - 2020.

Vinous

The 2002 Petrus is poured from magnum but even the larger format does not quite elevate what is essentially a rather ordinary Pomerol, at least by this cru's standards. It has a pleasant, well­ defined nose that is just missing the complexity and "je ne sais quoi" of other vintages. The palate is balanced with plenty of dusky red fruit laced with cedar and tobacco, just a little tapering towards the finish with modest length. It is a perfectly decent Petrus, although it just leaves you wanting more. Tasted at the Petrus dinner at the Epure restaurant in Hong Kong. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: February 2018. Drinking window: 2018 - 2032.
