Petrus 1961 (3 BT)

Petrus 1961

Pomerol

u.3t/hs, labels 1 slightly bin-marked, 1 very slightly nicked and soiled, wrinkled at bottom left, 1 slightly bin-marked and stained, slightly nicked and very slightly peeling form bottom right, 2 main labels partially covered by US importer's slips at bottom edge, US importer's neck slips, capsules slightly scuffed and soiled, 1 slightly nicked on side and slightly corroded on top, 1 partially torn on top revealing part on cork

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

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.）
