Petrus vintage 1975
Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel

98+/100 points Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 4th Edition, Jan 2003

Lying in a temperature-controlled cellar duty & tax free in Geneva, Switzerland
12 bottles in good appearance

Tasting Note: "One of the most rustic and powerful Petrus of the last 25 years, this wine still has a murky garnet/plum/purple color, a gorgeous nose of overripe black cherries, mocha, caramel, chocolate, and a hint of iron and blood. Full-bodied, super-concentrated, with massive tannin and extract, this behemoth Petrus can be enjoyed but still seems another 5-10 years away from maturity. It is certainly a 50-70 year wine, with exquisite concentration and intensity, but seemingly the rough edges will no doubt be less appealing to those looking for pure seamlessness. Perhaps that will emerge with bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040. Last tasted, 11/02."
