Château Pétrus--Vintage 1961
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Neat château capsule. Excellent label. Slip label 'Rebouchage fait au château en Octobre 1981'. Extremely high level
With 1945, still the greatest, most concentrated post-war vintage - indeed one of the best of the century.
Pétrus deserves its legendary reputation. Over a dozen notes, not one less than magnificent: deep velvety appearance; a bouquet that defies description - rich, mulberry-like ripe Merlot, scented, spicy; very sweet, immensely full-bodied, firm yet fleshy, with high extract masking tannins, lovely texture, slightly chocolaty, crammed with fruit
