Château Pétrus--Vintage 1982
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Both lots of excellent appearance and into neck levels
Tasting note: Pétrus 1982: My first comparative tasting was with the other 10-year-old first growths. My highest mark, a rare enough 19/20. Just so sweet, rich, fleshy, fruit packed, rounded. Most recently, at Kaplan's '82s dinner, with noisettes of Virginia lamb, by now less deep in colour; bouquet fully evolved and justly deserving about every praise one could heap upon it. Last tasted April 1997 ***** M.B.
