Petrus 1970 (1 DM)

Petrus 1970

Pomerol

u. hs, label slightly scuffed, damp affected, wine stained, wax capsules damp affected, cracked, partially damaged and revealing top of the cork. Purchased from Sotheby's Hong Kong "Olympic Dreams" on 22 December, 2021, of which this lot was generously donated by Dr. Henry Tang.

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

2014年品嚐，那熾烈辛辣的奇美酒香依然如一。她的浸漬期只有12日，在柏翠堡也屬甚短。口感豐腴，果味充沛。超越酒齡的奇釀。充滿肉香、甘香，口感柔韌。她與1971年湊成了一對傳奇姐妹。我真希望能多遇到她們。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師M.W.)
