Château Pétrus--Vintage 1945
Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1945
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Damaged, fragile label. Excellent level
No doubt about it, a very great wine...lively looking; soft, milky vanilla noticed on the nose, yet perfectly evolved, very fragrant, full of fruit. On the palate fairly sweet, now less massive, but a rich, soft, chewy charmer. Perfect weight, rich, good length, with some acidity peeping through. (JMB: GVWB II)
