Château Pétrus--Vintage 1971
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
All lots are offered in cartons. Lot 305: Slightly corroded capsule. Slightly bin-soiled label. Level into neck. Lot 306: Slightly corroded capsule. Slightly bin-soiled label. Level base of neck. Lot 307: Seven slightly corroded capsules. Two labels are slightly stained, the rest are slightly bin-soiled. Levels top-shoulder or better. Lot 308: Slightly corroded capsules. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: ten top or better, two just below top, one upper and mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting Note: This is a sensational Petrus that has drunk well since the mid-1970s. Plum/garnet in color with noticeable orange at the rim, the chocolate, mocha, sweet, fruit-scented bouquet is followed by a rich, velvety, full-bodied wine with layers of silky fruit. The 1971 must surely be the wine of the vintage. Light to moderate tannins and high alcohol will continue to preserve this plump, unctuous wine for another decade. This is Petrus at its most seductive. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 (Jan 1998)
