PETRUS 1983 |

Petrus 1983 Pomerolu. bn, heavily cellar soiled and damp stained labels, 1 slightly torn label, slightly corroded capsulesIn 2019, another view of this wine confirms how exciting it is, luscious, thick and opulent and as dense as its colour. A magnificent nose of spicy depth, a wine of its time - and I often yearn for this. A fabulous blackcurrant/liquorice taste that enfolds the palate, with that finish of roasted cumin. If Petrus had a voice, it would be the purring bass of Kurt Moll! Once again, this wine is an extraordinary manifestation of Merlot. Serena Sutcliffe, MW2 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
