PETRUS 1982
Lying in Gloucestershire at Christie's designated warehouse, (Octavian)
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1982
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Importers slip label. Good label. LeveL into neck
Tasting note: From barrel this remains one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted...the colour reveals some amber at the edge. A sweet nose of caramel, roasted herbs, cherry jam, cider and smoke is followed by a thick, full-bodied, unctuously-textured, low acid Pétrus that is approaching full maturity. This was a dazzling showing for this 1982, which has performed irregularly since birth. Although abundant tannin remains, the wine is sweet, smokey and ideal for drinking now and over the next 20-25 years. Robert Parker (Wine Advocate Issue 129)
