Score 90/100 · James Suckling, Jul 2019

Late-release edition of this wine. The nose is brimming with cedar, tobacco, sandalwood and a touch of prunes. Full-bodied and still rather chewy, this is quite drying on the finish but very enjoyable nonetheless. Fun to taste this ageing Petra. Drink now.

The 2008 Petra comes alive in the glass with layers of blueberry jam, spices, minerals and flowers. This Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend possesses striking inner perfume and fabulous balance in a rich, textured style that is highly appealing. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame the vibrant finish. Petra spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% new. To be released in April 2012.
