Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1973
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Plain wax capsule. Very bin-soiled, stained and damaged label. Level into neck
Tasting note: The wine of the vintage, this is the best Pétrus for immediate consumption from those wines produced in the seventies. Given the prolific yield in 1973 and diluted quality of many wines, the Pétrus is sensationally concentrated, rich, supple, fat, and so, so flavourful. Friends tell me that it is still a delicious wine. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998).
