Pétrus--Vintage 1996
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: nine bottom neck, three very top shoulder, three signs of old seepage, two wine stained labels, one torn label
In original wooden case
"A bruiser of a wine! Intensely powerful, with a dominating blackberry and plum fruit character and plenty of oak upon opening. Tamed by the food, the wine revealed first a chocolatey nuance, and then a deep wellspring of earthy intensity on the nose. On the palate the wine was very forceful, with plenty of extract, powerful tannin, firm acidity, and great length. Impressive!" Dinner at Christie's. CC, December 2009
