PETRUS 1964 |

Petrus 1964 Pomerolu. 2vts, 2ts, 2t/hs, 4 stained and soiled labels, 2 badly stained, soiled, and 20% missing, corroded capsules, 3 sunken corksIn 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.
