FINEST MATURE BORDEAUX, BURGUNDY AND RHONE
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Excellent appearance. Some corroded capsules. Levels base of neck or better. In Christie's six-bottle cartons
Tasting Note: The dark garnet, rust-rimmed 1970 Pétrus 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, but it has at least 20 years of life remaining. This spectacular Pétrus 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 (1998)
