PETRUS 1982 |

Petrus 1982 PomerolLevels just into neck or better, 3 labels slightly soiled, including 1 stained and slightly worn, 1 soiled, 1 capsule slightly worn, 1 coming loose which reveals vintage branded cork, 2 corks slightly depressedMature 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, MW4 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
