PETRUS 1982 |

Petrus 1982 PomerolExcellent levels, good color and clarity, labels damp soiled, 1 slightly nicked at bottom, 1 slightly red marked on top, capsules slightly wornMature 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, MW2 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
