Merlot dominated LdP offering creamy lush fruits, good freshness and tertiary notes shining through now. Wine gained complexity and length over the past 2 years. — a month ago
Opened and slowed to slow-ox hours prior to service. My first Petrus and even when considering this is the 1972, I can sort of see what the fuss is about. It pours an almost deep amber color with signs of sediment. This is a herbaceous, savory wine with a bouquet of dried flowers, pipe tobacco, Fig Newtons, roasted beef, salmiakki, and old wood. Long and velvety, I can only imagine how impressive these wines are in strong vintages. Drink now. — 16 days ago
Enjoying one of these is like going back in time. What impressed me the most about this wine is the fact one can appreciate the lower alcohol and lighter use of oak back then. How the wine becomes so subtlety elegant on the palate; all components feel in unison with perfect integration; the finish is slightly velvety and substancial. An experience all in itself, cheers. — 25 days ago

Opened and double decanted earlier in the day. This was my first Troty and wow, did this ever make an impression on me. The 1966 pours a pale garnet with a touch of orange but good color still. Predominately red fruited, with sandalwood, tobacco, burnt toast, well-oiled leather ball glove, and earth; truly fascinating stuff. And then, on the palate, it gets even better. It’s structured still and almost made me tear up it was so beautiful. This is a profoundly emotional wine and a true gift to behold in 2024. Drink now because this is special. — 16 days ago
