Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1945
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel.
Top-shoulder level
"I have noted this pretty rare and almost priceless wine on eight
occasions. No doubt about it: a very great wine. At the beginning
of the 1980s opaque, retaining fairly convincing depth and intensity,
and very 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
