Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Five slightly corroded capsules. Damp-stained labels. Levels: three base of neck, eight top and one mid/upper-shoulder
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Fine, rich, but not all that deep in April 1972, a glorious mouthful though. Quite quick to develop, soft, nicely balanced in 1976, then in the early 1980s, an astonishing flavour of ripe mulberries, pretty high alcohol, impressive, lovely. More than just fleshy yet not fat. M.B.
