PETRUS 1964 |

Petrus 1964 Pomerolu. 1vts, 7ts, 1t/hs, 2hs, 1h/m, 7 labels bin soiled, 1 of which damaged in bottom left corner, 5 with good appearance, capsules slightly worn and wrinkled by case dividers, owc lid not originalIn 2018, deep crimson colour to the rim. Astonishing - but this bottle was bought very young and then stored in a cold, damp cellar. Concentrated cassis, black cherry and tobacco nose. Then, more woodsmoke. On the palate, irony and velvety, with a touch of volatile which is utterly part of its persona and its epoch. The juiciness is amazing and the texture leaves its memory all over the mouth.
