Wine Information

Château Petrus 1934 by Nuikki

As I was walking along a narrow, winding and long ago paved Route de Lussac towards the vineyard that produces the most famous and expensive wine in the world, the scenery in front of me was somewhat different than expected.

Written Notes

1934 Petrus looked fascinating to us. There were only the remains of the label left and no capsule whatsoever, but it had a branded cork with all the much-needed information. Level was top-shoulder and it was decanted one hour before tasting. The colour was quite cloudy and unhealthy looking, but the nose was incredible; wide open with an odd but seductive mix of chocolate, truffles, blackcurrant and caramel-scented aromas! Full, rich and sweet wine with soft and well-balanced finish. Not as deep, fat and concentrated as the best Petrus from the 1940s and 1950s, but one of the best Bordeaux from the 1934 vintage we have ever tasted. This was very enjoyable.
