Description

Petrus 1961

Pomerol

u.2ts, 1hs, 1 damp-stained, 1 loosely-adhered and 1 slightly torn label, scuffed and slightly corroded capsules

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
