Beschreibung:

Château Pétrus--Vintage 1985
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1985 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Both levels: into neck Both lots in original wooden cases, Lot 348 lid missing "This wine was splendid from cask, but it was bottled during a period where Petrus was probably fined and filtered entirely too much (since the late-eighties, Petrus is no longer filtered). The wine comes across as herbaceous, with medium body, good but uninspiring concentration, and a distinct weedy, cherry, berry fruitiness. The color is a diffuse ruby with considerable amber at the edge. I would opt for drinking this wine over the next decade, or better yet ... sell it! Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 2/97" Robert Porker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 Jan 1998 1 dozen bottles per lot
