PETRUS 1982 |

Petrus 1982 PomerolLabels 7 scuffed, 4 nicked on the bottom edges, capsules slightly scuffed and nicked, 2 pulled and slightly damaged, 2 cut to reveal fully branded corks, excellent levels, color and clarityMature colour. A great nose of prunes, spices, huge character and 'presence'. Liquorice, with sweet, gummy definition. Some sweet aniseed. A lovely sweet 'leather' taste. Now has a pruney finish, with sweet, soft cinnamon at the end. Really mocha as it lingers on the palate. Superb, full, rich, ultra-dimensional taste. Rolls round the mouth. Unbeatable and stunning, with great meaty character. Leave it in the glass and it opens out gloriously. Serena Sutcliffe, MW12 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
