Pétrus 1970
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Seven slightly corroded capsules. Slightly bin-soiled labels, one slightly damaged label. Levels top-shoulder or better
Tasting note: Pétrus 1970: This dark garnet-colored wine shows considerable amber at the edge. I have always had a tendency to taste this side by side with the 1971, and it has been fascinating how the 1971 was fully mature at a much younger age yet continued to hold onto life without losing any of its seductive fruit and intensity. The 1970 started off life more tannic, backward, massive, but needing considerable time, and it has now hit full stride. It is a profound Pétrus, and certainly one of the great Pétrus’ of the last half century. The wine has a huge nose of cedar, caramel, vanilla, tobacco, fruitcake, and liquorice-infused black cherry jam. It is unctuously textured and very full-bodied, with extraordinary sweetness and glycerin, and a layered, viscous finish. This wine should continue to drink well for at least another 20 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 4th Edition (2003)
