Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1945
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Recorked at the Château in 1996. New capsules, corks and labels. Levels high fill. Impeccable appearance
A remarkable stock of a great wine, the property of noted family. During the recorking process, each bottle was carefully checked and only those found to be in good condition recorked. A small number of bottles were sacrificed to enable any topping up necessary to be done with the same wine
Tasting note: I have noted this pretty rare and almost priceless wine on eight occassions. No doubt it: a very great wine. At the beginning of the 1980s opaque, retaining fairly convincing depth and intensity, and very lively looking; soft, milky, vanilla noticed on the nose, yet perfectly evolved, very fragrant, full of fruit. On the palate fairly sweet, now less massive, but a rich, soft, chewy charmer. Perfect weight, rich, good length, with some acidity peeping through. (M.B. GVWB II)
6 bottles only per dozen
