Description
Petrus 1961 Pomerolu. hs, label very slightly soiled and peeling down left side, capsule has been cut to reveal '1er DES GRANDS CRUS, POMEROL' but vintage and 'Petrus' not clear, US import label overlapping main label at bottom. 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 WA 100 156:1 bt (cn)per lot: GBP 5,500-7,000per lot: USD 7,000-8,500per lot: EUR 6,200-8,000Offered Duty Paid onlyEstimates are per lot
