Château Pétrus--Vintage 1975
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Lot levels: two very top, six top, four upper top-shoulder, one slightly corroded capsule, three bin soiled label, two torn labels, eleven Dreyfus Ashby & Co one piece labels, one missing import slip
"The 1975 Petrus reveals a youthful, rustic, brutally powerful style, with an opaque garnet/ruby/purple color, and an emerging nose of over-ripe black-cherries, mocha/chocolate, and truffles. Extremely full-bodied, ferociously tannic, but awesomely concentrated, the 1975 Petrus can be drunk, provided readers have a penchant for slightly uncivilized wines. This behemoth Petrus (the last made in this style) is at least a decade away from full maturity. It is potentially a 50 year wine, with exquisite concentration and intensity. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series I of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103 (Feb 1996)
