Pétrus--Vintage 1945
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Level: top shoulder. Missing capsule. Torn, bin-soiled and discolored label, signs of old seepage.
A dozen notes over the past 30 years. Unquestionably impressive; for a big wine, elegant. Most recently, three magnums at a Grands Vins Fins dinner in Oslo: amazing colour, opaque, velvety, ruby rim; rich, spicy, fruit-packed; sweet, concentrated, very tannic. Last tasted Aug 2005 *****
