Sep 28th, 2025Intense and dark. Plummy fruit with tang at the edges. Surprisingly youthful… but presuming this is what it is, it would be a great bottle. Hard to believe this is 80 years old?

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.

Dec 2nd, 2024Beautiful and lush. Rounded plum with light floral notes. Cherry and dried flowers. Clearly mature but still sparkling with life. Lush, pure, intense and long.

Oct 9th, 2024Roses and dark brambles. Quite intense and very pure. Whiffs of tobacco and a real purity of fruit. Little tang of acidity on the finish with dried orange rind. Still profound

Oct 9th, 2024A hint of tar, dried roses, tangy plum. Good soft fruit with a haunting quality Clearly aged but relatively fresh given it’s almost a centurion Pretty and memorable
