Does it have the complexity of the previous vintage? I don't think so—not at this stage. The palate is very well structured with fine tannins, and you can tell that this is a Pétrus with heft and backbone. This is very precise on the finish, with touches of cracked black pepper, clove and a dab of dark chocolate. This is an excellent Pomerol, even if I feel that the 2022 has more…ambition.

Its aromatic profile touts a little more flamboyance and sensuality than those of some of its fellow Pomerol estates. Cashmere tannins and perfectly judged acidity frame the harmonious and poised palate. Whilst it does not contain the profound complexity of the 2022 (for example), the 2024 does retain the essence of Pétrus. There is a little more flesh and just a hint of spicebox towards the finish. At 13.3% abv, this is just a delicious Pomerol.
