Petrus 1983 (6 BT)

Petrus 1983

Pomerol

u. vts, 2 slightly nicked labels, 1 slightly wine-stained label, 1 slightly torn capsule, Mexico import tags adhered to labels

At 40 years old, and on my birthday (wish I was that age again.................................. ), an incredible nose of coffee, blueberries and deep spiciness. On the palate, the motif is a compote of plums with cinnamon - and the mocha persists. Silky smooth, refined class and with a mega Petrus punch of cherries on the finish. Maybe we caught this at its absolute apogee, but who knows with Petrus always working its wizardry. An extraordinary manifestation of Merlot. If Petrus had a voice, it would be the purring bass of Kurt Moll! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
