Petrus 1983 (6 MAG)

Petrus 1983

Pomerol

u. 1vts, otherwise into the neck, damp-stained and nicked labels, scuffed and corroded capsules, 2 of which are torn

In 2019, another view of this wine confirms how exciting it is, luscious, thick and opulent and as dense as its colour. A magnificent nose of spicy depth, a wine of its time - and I often yearn for this. A fabulous blackcurrant/liquorice taste that enfolds the palate, with that finish of roasted cumin. If Petrus had a voice, it would be the purring bass of Kurt Moll! Once again, this wine is an extraordinary manifestation of Merlot. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
