Written Notes

The 1974 Petrus had a nicer nose and darker fruit, along with lighter chocolate aromas. The palate was clearly better than ’77. It was what I would call ‘decent.’ Soft and tasty, this was pleasant and easy with a touch of cardboard in a good way (88).

Red brown. Well-preserved prune marmalade, Holds on ingredients quite well, strong tannin but not edgy. Fine balance. This wine is just up to standard in this difficult vintage. Ready to drink now and won't improve by additional keeping.
