Petrus 1971
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Scuffed capsules, two corroded. Badly bin-soiled labels. Levels: two into neck, one base of neck, one very top-shoulder and one upper-shoulder
Tasting note: This wine has been seemingly fully mature since the mid- to late seventies. It is a seductive, opulent vintage for Petrus. The color now is a dark garnet with considerable amber at the rim. The incredible nose of Christmas fruitcake intermixed with mocha, jammy kirsch, and black currants is followed by a silky textured, full-bodied, very opulent wine that is still totally intact. The tannins have totally dissipated, and the wine is an unctuous, seductive Petrus that is certainly one of the vintages that is most delicious and compelling. A sensational wine and probably the wine of the vintage. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 4th Edition, January 2003.
