SUPERB CLARET INCLUDING LARGE FORMATS
Lying at Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Damaged wax capsule. Slightly damaged top of label with small stain. Level into neck
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Fine, rich, but not all that deep in April 1972, a glorious mouthful though. Quite quick to develop, soft, nicely balanced in 1976, then in the early 1980s, an astonishing flavour of ripe mulberries, pretty high alcohol, impressive, lovely. More than just fleshy yet not fat. M.B.
