Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1982
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
In original wooden cases. Lot 145; Three very slightly corroded capsules. Six slightly damaged labels. Levels into neck. Lot 146; very slightly corroded capsules. Seven slightly damaged labels. Levels into neck
Tasting note: Picked in one day by a large team at the end of a very hot harvest. My highest marks in the early to mid-1990s: rich, velvety, fleshy, 'a velvet-lined mouthfiller'. Fully evolved but with all the components to warrant a long life. Most recently, still deep and richly coloured; bouquet harmonious and complacent; full, rich, certainly impressive... Last tasted Oct 2000 ***** M.B.
