PETRUS 1970 |

Petrus 1970 Pomerolu. 1vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, 2hs, labels 1 nicked on the bottom right edge, 1 very slightly stain spotted on the left edge, slightly corroded and scuffed capsules, very slight signs of old seepage, very slightly sunken corks, good color and clarityIn 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 996 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
