PETRUS 1982 |

Petrus 1982 PomerolLot 6589: Excellent levels, color and clarity, 4 slightly bin soiled and 8 soiled labels, slightly corroded capsules, very slightly sunken corks, Lot 6590: Good levels, bin soiled and scuffed labels, capsules slightly corroded and scuffed at baseMature colour. A great nose of prunes, spices, huge character and 'presence'. Liquorice, with sweet, gummy definition. Some sweet aniseed. A lovely sweet 'leather' taste. Now has a pruney finish, with sweet, soft cinnamon at the end. Really mocha as it lingers on the palate. Superb, full, rich, ultra-dimensional taste. Rolls round the mouth. Unbeatable and stunning, with great meaty character. Leave it in the glass and it opens out gloriously. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 6589:12 bts (owc) 6590:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
