Description

Petrus 1961

Pomerol

u.ms, label slightly soiled, partially covered by US importer's slip at bottom edge, US importer neck slip, capsule slightly nicked on its side, slightly corroded and nicked on top, sign of old seepage


A fascinating fact about this wine is that it finished its alcoholic fermentation in Spring 1962, with the malolactic following in the summer! Incredible curranty nose with a slight affinity with Port. So rich and "earthy", in a totally refined way. Damp earth after rain. Amazing, almost "Porty" wine on the palate. Yet such fresh fruit at the end. Immense. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 100


1962年春天完成酒精發酵後,在夏天進行了蘋果酸乳酸發酵! 美不勝收的醋栗香,略似砵酒。口感豐厚,有泥土味,感覺細膩雅緻。雨後濕土氣息。令人驚嘆,入口近如波特酒。收結卻有清新的水果香氣。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)
