Chateau Petrus 1947, 1947

Duty Paid, 1 bottle, 75cl

ID: 157880

Description

1947 was an exceptional year for Pomerol and Bordeaux in general. Tasting notes for the 1947 Petrus as follows:

100 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 1998

The 1947 Petrus is the most decadent "wine of the century." While not as port-like as the 1947 Cheval Blanc, it is a massive, unctuously-textured, viscous wine with amazing power, richness, and sweet fruit. The nose explodes from the glass, offering jammy fruit, smoke, and buttery caramel scents. The wine's viscosity is reminiscent of 10-W-40 motor oil. It is so sweet, thick, and rich one suspects a spoon could stand upright. The wine is loaded with dream-like quantities of fruit, as well as high alcohol, but there is no noticeable tannin. While drinkable now, given its amazing fruit extract, and high levels of glycerin and alcohol, it is capable of lasting two more decades.
