Lot Details

Description

Petrus 1970

Pomerol

u. 3ts, labels slightly soiled, 1 slightly wrinkled, capsules showing slight signs of corrosion on top

In 2014, the huge, spicy nose is as great as ever. Incredible to remember that this had only a 12-day maceration, short for Petrus. Rich and opulently-textured on the palate. Defies its age. Meaty, sweet and gummy. One half of that legendary pair of Petrus, 1970 and 1971. I wish we met more often. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
