Château Pétrus--Vintage 1971
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: one into neck and one top shoulder
"This is a sensational Pétrus that has drunk well since the mid-1970s. Plum/garnet in color, with noticeable orange at the rim, the chocolate, mocha, sweet, fruit-scented bouquet is followed by a rich, velvety, full-bodied wine with layers of silky fruit. The 1971 must surely be the wine of the vintage. Light to moderate tannins and high alcohol will continue to preserve this plump, unctuous wine for another decade. This is Pétrus at its most seductive." Robert Parker, Bordeaux, Third Edition
