Chateau Petrus 1985 Chateau Petrus 1985 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel Lot 5186: Corroded capsules, otherwise excellent appearance and levels Lot 5187: u. 1bn, 1 scuffed label, 2 stained labels, 6 slightly scuffed labels, 3 slightly corroded capsules, 1 capsule missing on top A recent bottle was one of the greatest, with a glorious earthy, truffley, tobacco bouquet, with notes of lead pencil and liquorice all the way through. It is just so rosy of taste, so bloomy, utterly luscious and yet linear underneath. Then, at 25 years old, the bouquet is very berryish, typically Petrus. Irony taste. Absolutely ready. SS. Lot 5186 12 bts (owc) Lot 5187 12 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 95000-140000 per lot: USD 12000-18000 The very word Petrus creates a 'frisson' unlike any other wine name - and the liquid in the glass induces a dream-like silence as its enormous, almost roasted flavour envelops the palate. The sheer exoticism of this revered vineyard, where clay combines with Merlot to make something wildly heady, needs to be experienced by everyone once in their life (preferably many more times!). Petrus does not taste like other Bordeaux - it is not 'classic' but stupendously original, full of oriental spice box flavours which unfold endlessly. A one-off wine that inhabits a world of its own and, of course, a rarity due to its small (11.4 hectare) size. SS. Quantity: 1
