Château Pétrus--Vintage 1961
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
"Rich" in well over a dozen notes since 1967; "black as Egypt's night: even after eighteen years in bottle; magnificently opulent on nose and palate. From then on: appearance consistantly deep and velvety, though now showing signs of maturity; a bouquet that defies description, "rich ripe mulberry Merlot" noted regulary, also after time in the glass, scented, spicy, vegetal, wholemeal, and then a sort of tarry cinnamon. Very sweet, immensely full-bodied, firm yet fleshy, velety with high extract masking tannin, lovely texture, slightly chocolatey, crammed with fruit. April 1990 ***** Magnificent, and with no end in sight
1 double-magnum per lot
