Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Lot 170 levels top-shoulder or better. Lot 171 levels: nine top and three upper-shoulder
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.
