Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Slightly corroded capsules. One very stained, three slightly stained labels. Levels: two into neck, one top, and one mid/upper
Offered in carton
Tasting Note: Fine and rich making a glorious mouthful. Quite quick to develop, soft and nicely balanced in 1976, then, in the early 1980's, an astonishing flavour of ripe mulberries, pretty high alcohol, impressive, lovely. More than just fleshy, yet not fat. However a rather cool note in a Pétrus 'flight' in 1990: very sweet yet restrained and I thought, lacking fruit. Only three notes in the 1990's. Most recently a double magnum, fairly full, chunky, austere and lacking in expected length. *** M.B.
