Ahem:CHÂTEAU PÉTRUS 1997
Pomerol

I like the fruityness and the overall smoothness of it. I could perhaps do with something more complex. Ie you can smell like three kinds of berries in the glass Id like something with even more layers and depth.
I just ordered some 99 Futures to put away.
Here is a link to my local wine store.
www.vintages.com
In Canada we don't have a lot of choices. I can order anything though.

Thanks.

Charles,
Have you tried any wines from the St Julien area, of Medoc?
The layered, multi-berry, fruit and complexity.
Unique character and worth a try, if you haven't.
Like StEmillion and Pomerol wines, stands out from the claret crowd, characterwise.
Cheaper, (read - better value?), clarets coming from the COTE DE FRONSAC area where one can find Ch. wines up to "Cru Bourgeois" classification. Similar, albeit lighter in character to St Emillion!!!
Report back and
happy hunting,
Mike.S.
