Description

Petrus 1961

Pomerol

u. 2vts/ts, 1ts, 1 label very slightly bin-marked and wrinkled, 1 label very slightly bin-marked and partially torn at the bottom right, 1 label slightly nicked on top and bottom left, main labels partially covering by importer's slips at bottom edges, capsules 1 slightly scuffed and creased, 1 slightly scuffed, 1 slightly scuffed and corroded on top, 1 slightly raised cork, 1 slightly sunken capsule


A fascinating fact about this wine is that it finished its alcoholic fermentation in Spring 1962, with the malolactic following in the summer! Incredible curranty nose with a slight affinity with Port. So rich and "earthy", in a totally refined way. Damp earth after rain. Amazing, almost "Porty" wine on the palate. Yet such fresh fruit at the end. Immense. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

1962年春天完成酒精發酵後,在夏天進行了蘋果酸乳酸發酵! 美不勝收的醋栗香,略似砵酒。口感豐厚,有泥土味,感覺細膩雅緻。雨後濕土氣息。令人驚嘆,入口近如波特酒。收結卻有清新的水果香氣。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)
