RARE PETRUS OF THE GREAT 1947 VINTAGE
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1947
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Belgian bottled by Vandermeulen
Two damaged capsules. Badly bin-soiled, one damaged and one slightly damaged labels. Levels: three into neck, one base of neck, four top and four upper-shoulder. In Christie's carton
Tasting Note: Most recently, two bottles, appearance less deep, lively but its mature colour displaying an orange rim. One bottle with rich bouquet but a whiff of oxidation and sour on the palate, the other more attractive. Last tasted June 2004. At best ***** M.B.
