Petrus 1970 (10 BT)

Petrus 1970

Pomerol

u. 4ts, 6hs, nicked and bin-soiled labels, nicked and slightly corroded capsules, slight signs of old seepage

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
