Petrus 1964

Pomerol

5 mags - u. 4ts, 1t/hs, damp-stained labels, 2 slightly nicked labels, 3 torn labels, corroded capsules, 1 slightly raised

cork, 2 torn capsules partially revealing corks, 2 torn capsules, 2 signs of old seepage

In 2018, deep crimson colour to the rim. Astonishing - but this bottle was bought very young and then stored in a cold, damp cellar. Concentrated cassis, black cherry and tobacco nose. Then, more woodsmoke. On the palate, irony and velvety, with a touch of volatile which is utterly part of its persona and its epoch. The juiciness is amazing and the texture leaves its memory all over the mouth. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
