PETRUS 1970 |

Petrus 1970 Pomerolu. 1bn, 3vts, 3ts, 3t/hs, 1 h/m, excellent color and clarity, labels slightly worn and scuffed, 9 detached, slightly corroded and nicked capsulesIn 2014, the huge, spicy nose is as great as ever. Incredible to remember that this had only a 12-day maceration, short for Petrus. Rich and opulently-textured on the palate. Defies its age. Meaty, sweet and gummy. One half of that legendary pair of Petrus, 1970 and 1971. I wish we met more often. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9911 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
