Château Pétrus--Vintage 1949
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Château-bottled. Stained and slightly bin-soiled label. Level upper-shoulder
Tasting Note: While variable, the 1949 has always been a huge, thick, chewy, immense wine without the unctuosity and port-like quality of the 1947 or 1950. The first time I tasted it a decade ago it seemed to be chunky and one-dimensional, but enormously rich. Since then the wine has begun to display the huge, exotic, fleshiness of Pétrus, as well as marvelously pure, plum, black-cherry, mocha, and coffee-flavoured fruit. It is developing well and remains remarkably youthful for a 45-year old wine. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate 95 (Oct 1994).
