Château Pétrus--Vintage 1971
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled U.S. import integrated slip labels. Bin-soiled labels. Levels into neck. In Christie's carton
Tasting Note: Rich, full-bodied (13.5 alcohol), laden with tannin in cask. My best notes in the mid-1980s, its power and tannin tamed by its velvety Pomerol texture and flesh. More restrained in the nose, more meaty than the Cheval Blanc, which after all is just a stone's throw away. Impressive, fragrant. M.B.
