PETRUS 1948-1989
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1948
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: very top shoulder; slightly damp stained and soiled label; Nicolas stamp; capsule cut to reveal Château branded vintage cork
"...The nose of cedar, leather, herbs, and cassis suggested to me that this was a first-growth Pauillac. The color is still dense, with only a moderate orange hue at the edge. The wine is rich, more austere and lineal than usual, but full-bodied, with considerable flavor, and a spicy, moderately tannic finish. It has peaked, but is clearly capable of lasting another 10-15 years..." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
