Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1975
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: six very top or better and six top shoulder; four slightly corroded capsules; two signs of old seepage; three soiled labels
"The 1975 Petrus reveals a youthful, rustic, brutally powerful style, with an opaque garnet/ruby/purple color, and an emerging nose of over-ripe black-cherries, mocha/chocolate, and truffles. Extremely full-bodied, ferociously tannic, but awesomely concentrated, the 1975 Petrus can be drunk, provided readers have a penchant for slightly uncivilized wines. This behemoth Petrus (the last made in this style) is at least a decade away from full maturity. It is potentially a 50 year wine, with exquisite concentration and intensity." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103 (Feb 1996)
