Petrus 1980
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
In original wooden case. Slightly corroded capsules, three slightly damaged. Bin-soiled, damp-affected labels, some stained. Levels: six base of neck, six top-shoulder
Tasting note: The 1980 Petrus turned in a surprisingly strong performance. A roasted herb, melted road tar, and sweet, jammy-scented nose is followed by a rich, medium to full-bodied wine with considerable length. It appears to have become more impressive with age. Robert Parker; Wine Advocate (103) Feb 1996
