Château Pétrus--Vintage 1995
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1995 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Lot 53 with lightly wrinkled labels; Lot 54 with different importer slip lables Lot 53 in original wooden case "It is interesting how this wine continues to evolve. Unquestionably one of the vintage's superstars, the 1995 Pétrus is taking on a personality similar to the extraordinarily backward, muscular 1975. This is not a Pétrus that can be approached in its youth (i.e. the perfect duo of 1989 and 1990). The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by a knock-out nose of pain grille, jammy black fruits and roasted coffee. On the palate, it possesses teeth-staining extract levels, massive body, and rich, sweet black fruis buttressed by powerful, noticeable tannin. A formidably endowed wine with layers of extract, this is a huge, tanninc, monstrous-sized Pétrus that will require a minimum of 10 years cellaring. Forget all the nonsense about Merlot producing sweet, soft, ready to drink wines, because low yielding, old Merlot vines made in the way of Pétrus and other top Pomerols frequently possess as much aging potential as any great Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine in the world. Look for the 1995 Pétrus to last for 50+ years. Anticipated matruity: 2007-2050." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #115 (Feb 1998) 1 dozen bottles per lot
