Château Pétrus--Vintage 1962
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Level: bottom neck; lightly torn label
"The 1962 and 1959 Petrus were two of the finest bottles I have ever tasted of these vintages. The fully mature 1962 was reminiscent of a Medoc, with its minty, chocolatey, herbal, cedary-scented nose, medium-bodied, well-proportioned flavors, and structured personality. The wine still possesses a healthy dark ruby color with only slight amber at the edge. Although not that powerful or opulent, it is an outstanding example of Petrus made in a more graceful, elegant manner." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103 (Feb 1996)
