1978 Petrus, Pomerol

Bid on this bottle of 1978 Petrus, Pomerol (90VN). Vinous: "The 1978 Petrus is slightly better than the previous one tasted. It shows moderate bricking on the rim, but healthy and quite deep at its core. It has a conservative, floral nose as usual with plenty of sous-bois. There is a bit of mulch in here, but also a sense of simple joy. The palate is medium-bodied with lovely balance, this example showing a tad more flesh than expected with a pinch of black and bell pepper towards the finish. As I remarked before, there is no need to continue cellaring the 1978 as it will not improve further and yet undeniably it is commendable for the vintage. Old school Petrus. (NM)" (07/2020)
