PETRUS 1982 |

Petrus 1982 Pomerolu. 1bn, 1vts, 5 levels into the neck, 2 heavily soiled labels and capsules, 5 soiled and scuffed labels and capsules, 2 torn capsules, 3 signs of seepageMature 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, MW7 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
