A COLLECTION OF MATURE WINES FROM AN EAST COAST GENTLEMAN
Nearly all the wines in this Bordeaux-dominated offering were purchased upon release and meticulously stored in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar throughout their maturation period. It should be noted that with only a few exceptions, all bottles are in pristine condition with levels indicative of a collector who has cared for each of his purchases from the time they arrived on his doorstep. Buyer's remorse need not be an issue as these wines will no doubt live up to expectation.
Matthew Bangser
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Level: top shoulder
"The dark garnet, rust-rimmed 1970 Pétrus has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. Tight and reserved early in life, it has blossomed into a true blockbuster. This massive, highly-extracted, full-bodied, jammy, thick, unctuously-textured wine possesses a huge, spice, tobacco, black cherry, mocha-scented nose. It is a real turn-on. The wine is fully mature, but it has at least 20 years of life remaining. This spectacular Pétrus is now superior to the 1971, which out-performed it for nearly two decades. Owners of this wine have a true nectar in their cellars. Last tasted 6/96" Robert Parker (Bordeaux Book, 1998)
