Chateau Petrus 1996 Chateau Petrus 1996 Pomerol Lot 136: All levels bn or better, very good appearance Lot 137: u. 5bn, very good appearance Lot 138: u. 5bn, 3 slightly nicked labels, 1 label stained at top right corner Lot 136 12 bts (owc) Lot 137 12 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 140000-200000 per lot: USD 18000-26000 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 Quantity: 1
