Château Pétrus--Vintage 1929
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Wax capsule, top slightly depressed, over cut lead capsule. Original label, worn and bin-soiled. Excellent level into neck
1929: the epitome of elegance. Claret at its best. Right bank wines richer, more substantial than the elegant Médocs. Pétrus tasted only once, from an impériale: fairly deep with a fully-mature amber brown rim; bouquet initially slightly singed and chocolaty but opened up and improved in the glass, spicy then bitter truffles; fairly sweet and full bodied, rich, with a powerful tangy flavour and surprisingly tannic finish
1 double-magnum per lot
