Chateau Petrus 1993 Chateau Petrus 1993 Pomerol Excellent levels and appearance Amazing colour for 1993, the result of some very severe crop thinning. Plummy Pomerol nose. Good middle palate but not long, of course. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 8 2 bts (cn) per lot: GBP 1400-1800 per lot: USD 2200-2800 per lot: EUR 1600-2000 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 (11.5 hectares) size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW LYING IN GREENFORD, MIDDLESEX Offered Duty Paid only Quantity: 1
