Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Lot 303 is offered in an original wooden case. Lot 304 is offered in a carton. Lot 303: Excellent appearance. Levels top-shoulder or better. Lot 304: slightly bin-soiled and damaged labels. One bottles shows slight signs of seepage. Levels: seven top, three just below top and three upper-shoulder
Tasting Note: 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. 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. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 (Jan 1998)
