Description

Petrus 1985

Pomerol

Good level, label slightly soiled and very slightly nicked at base, capsule slightly nicked around collar; Bon niveau, étiquette légèrement sale et très légèrement entaillée en bas, capsule légèrement entaillée autour du col


A recent bottle was one of the greatest, with a glorious earthy, truffley, tobacco bouquet, with notes of lead pencil and liquorice all the way through. It was just so rosy of taste, so bloomy, utterly luscious and yet linear underneath. Another bottle had a bouquet that was very berryish, typically Petrus. Irony taste. Absolutely ready. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
