Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: one bottom neck and one top shoulder; one signs of seepage
"The dark garnet, rust-rimmed 1970 Petrus has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. Tight and reserved early in life, it has blossomed into a true blockbuster. This massive, highly-extracted, full-bodied, jammy, thick, unctuously-textured wine possesses a huge, spice, tobacco, black cherry, mocha-scented nose. It is a real turn-on. The wine is fully mature, but it has at least 20 years of life remaining. This spectacular Petrus is now superior to the 1971, which out-performed it for nearly two decades. Owners of this wine have a true nectar in their cellars. Last tasted 6/96." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd ed. (1998)
