Château Pétrus--Vintage 1947
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: one into neck and two bottom neck; Short chateau embossed lead capsule removed for inspection, chateau vintage branded cork, nicked and slightly torn labels, very light bin soiled labels, imported for Sherry Wine & Spirits Co. Inc. NYC
"The 1947 Petrus is the most decadent "wine of the century." While not as port-like as the 1947 Cheval Blanc, it is a massive, unctuously-textured, viscous wine with amazing power, richness, and sweet fruit. The nose explodes from the glass, offering jammy fruit, smoke, and buttery caramel scents. The wine's viscosity is reminiscent of 10-W-40 motor oil. It is so sweet, thick, and rich one suspects a spoon could stand upright. The wine is loaded with dream-like quantities of fruit, as well as high alcohol, but there is no noticeable tannin. While drinkable now, given its amazing fruit extract, and high levels of glycerin and alcohol, it is capable of lasting two more decades. Last tasted 11/97" Robert Parker, Bodeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
