Château Pétrus--Vintage 1971 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled Lightly bin-soiled labels. Levels top-shoulder or better Not in original wooden case Tasting note: this is a sensational Pétrus that has drunk well since the mid-1970s. Plum garnet in color, with noticeable orange at the rim, the chocolate, mocha, sweet, fruit-scented bouquet is followed by a rich, velvety, full-bodied wine with layers of silky fruit. The 1971 must surely be the wine of the vintage. Light to moderate tannins and high alcohol will continue to preserve this plump, unctuous wine for another decade. This is Pétrus at its most seductive. Anticipated maturity: now-2005. Last tasted, 6/98. 95 points. Robert Parker Bordeaux. A Comprehensive Guide, Third Edition. 4 bottles per lot
