Château Pétrus--Vintage 1964
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Good appearance. Levels: one into neck and two very top-shoulder
Tasting Note: A very sweet, very rich, well-balanced bottle at a pre-sale tasting in New York in 1999. Most recently, a superb double magnum from Tom Black's cellar at a dinner for the Russian National Orchestra: impressively deep and still youthful; low-keyed but harmonious and complete nose (but I never consider the bouquet of Pétrus, or of quite a few other Pomerols, is as interesting as the taste and feel in the mouth). In fact, I found it straining my imagination to use the expression bouquet at all. But what a glorious mouthful and mouth feel. Deep. Rich. Yet not overpowering. Last tasted at Mosimann's, London, Dec 2000 ***** M.B.
