Petrus 1982 PomerolLot 8428: Case signed by Christian Moueix, good levels, color and clarity, 1 slightly scuffed capsule otherwise good general appearance, Lot 8429: Case signed by Christian Moueix, good levels, color and clarity, very slightly sunken corks, 2 scuffed capsules and 1 slightly scuffed label otherwise good general appearanceMature colour. A great nose of prunes, spices, huge character and 'presence'. Liquorice, with sweet, gummy definition. Some sweet aniseed. A lovely sweet 'leather' taste. Now has a pruney finish, with sweet, soft cinnamon at the end. Really mocha as it lingers on the palate. Superb, full, rich, ultra-dimensional taste. Rolls round the mouth. Unbeatable and stunning, with great meaty character. Leave it in the glass and it opens out gloriously. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 8428:12 bts (owc) 8429:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
