Château Pétrus--Vintage 1966
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled and slightly damaged label. Level into neck
Tasting note: Well, I suppose this is the style of wine they will all try to imitate. But I must admit, it was enormously impressive from a 'hefty' cask sample in 1967, followed by some impressive tastings in the 1980s. Deep, the wine's extract almost visible it is so thick looking. An equally rich nose, almost malty yet developing a lovely frangrance. Sweet, full-bodied, yet tannic. Made as if the grapes had not been pressed but allowed to drip their sugar-laden juice. Last tasted April 1990 ***** Long life
