First time tasting Petrus.
Both glasses were gifted to me, for which I am extremely grateful.
2007: leather, red fruit, leaner and dryer. Lacks plush mouthfeel. Acid and tannin are both more pronounced. Black pepper. Slightly out of balance.
2008: plush mouthfeel. Dark fruit, more earthy and complex. Some dark chocolate. Tannins integrated much better. Power, with balance.
2008 is a much better wine. Really well balanced. Darker fruit. I would love to do the same vertical again in 15 years.

They both are infected with horrible bio-weapons. Cork and send to me immediately! I am saving your life.
You’re welcome.
$3,700/bottle average price for the 07, $3,900/bottle average price for the 08 which means those pours are worth about $400-$500 each
I need better friends
Go fuck yourself (This is amazing I only wish I was a part of this)
The people on this subreddit drive me nuts (I only wish I was part of tastings like these)
That’s part of for what I am here for. I hope you had the best experience you can with those wines. Notes are good enough for me (I have my probs with notes anyway, need to experience it for myself). Cheers and looking forward to more notes from you.
