RARE JEROBOAMS OF THE LEGENDARY PETRUS 1982 AND TALBOT 1982.
Recently removed from an excellent temperature controlled cellar in Northern Europe. These have been shipped to the cellar after release.
Petrus 1982
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Slightly corroded capsule. Damaged and stained label. Excellent level, high fill
Tasting note: From barrel, this remains one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted. Whether fining and filtration pulled more out of it than was intended, only the proprietor knows. However, the 1982 Petrus turned in a strong performance in Philadelphia in contrast to other tastings when it has been less than spectacular. The colour reveals some amber at the edge. A sweet nose of caramel, roasted herbs, cherry jam, cedar, and smoke is followed by a thick, full-bodied, unctuously-textured, low acid Petrus that is approaching full maturity. This was a dazzling showing for this 1982, which has performed irregularly since birth. Although abundant tannin remains, the wine is sweet, smoky, and ideal for drinking now and over the next 20-25 years. A bottle drunk in France in March, 2000, was equally sublime.
