Description
Château Pétrus 1961
Pomerol
u. 2ts, previously purchased at Sotheby's New York auction September 25, 2010, slightly soiled and scuffed labels, 1 nicked label, slightly corroded capsules, excellent color and clarity, see illustration
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
