Chateau Petrus 1985 Chateau Petrus 1985 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel Lot 422: Heavily stained label, torn capsule, slightly sunken cork, excellent color and clarity Lot 423: Nicked and slightly soiled label, slight sign of seepage, scuffed capsule, excellent color and clarity A recent bottle was one of the greatest, with a glorious earthy, truffley, tobacco bouquet, with notes of lead pencil and liquorice all the way through. It was just so rosy of taste, so bloomy, utterly luscious and yet linear underneath. Another bottle had a bouquet that was very berryish, typically Petrus. Irony taste. Absolutely ready. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 423 1 d.mag - 3 litre (cn) per lot: USD 3000-4000 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 (11.4 hectare) size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
