PETRUS 1975 |

Petrus 1975 Pomerolu. 1bn, 2vts, heavily damp-stained, scuffed, faded, and loose labels, corroded capsules, cellar soiled bottles, slightly sunken corks, excellent color and clarityVery minerally, very 'irony' nose. Total breed. Lots of great, fresh, violetty fruit. So silky and such finesse. So sweet at the end. It sometimes has a bouquet of wild boar (the cooked version!), a glorious, gamey taste and a lovely aniseed finish. In 2012, a superlative 'exotic' nose. Superb, irony centre. Utterly mouth coating with that great Petrus heart to it. Sweetness and mineral dimension. True long finish. In a class of its own. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 98+3 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
