Chateau Petrus 1985 Chateau Petrus 1985 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel Lot 477: 4 wine stained labels, 4 scuffed capsules, 2 signs of seepage, 2 bottles with excellent appearance, excellent color and clarity, Lot 478: 1 very slightly scuffed label, otherwise excellent appearance, color and clarity, Lot 479: 1 slightly stained label, 1 nicked capsule, otherwise very good appearance, color and clarity 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 477 6 mags (owc) per lot: USD 10000-15000 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
