Petrus 1970 (12 BT)

Petrus 1970 

Pomerol

u. 2ts, 9t/hs, 1h/ms, damp stained and bin soiled labels, 2 slightly scuffed labels, 1 slightly nicked label, 2 wine stained labels, 1 torn label, 6 corroded capsules, 4 torn capsules, 9 signs of old seepage, different importers

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
