Trochę dużo na tym forum tematów o winach do 10zł czy najlepszych z
supermarketu wiec dla odmiany notki degustacyjne czegoś trochę
lepszego. Poniżej notki a degustacji różnych roczników Chateau
Petrus i nie tylko pochodzą z imprezy jaka odbyłą sięw tym miesiącu
w jednej z restauracji w Kopenhadze, autorem wszystkich notel jest
Pan Bjorke Kierkegaard, umieścił je na publicznym forum Roberta
Parkera. Myślęże nie będzie miał nic przeciwko jeśli miłośnicy wina
w Polsce przeczytają również te notki.
1959, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Brown color, almost like coca cola. Very dark and brown on the nose,
very sweet, scents of cream, toffee, brown sugar, cookies,
chocolate, Caribbean rum, marzipan and vanilla. Medium bodied with a
very round, soft and sweet texture. Quite good and very pleasant
drinking. Still it has to be said, that this ’59 was no way near the
majestic wines of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1959 or Chateau Haut
Brion 1959 we had at Lars birthday party. The aftertaste is very
sweet and soft.

1964, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Dark garnet color with an amber rim. The lovely nose offers up notes
of ripe berry fruit, red cherry, strawberry, chocolate and burned
oak. There’s lots of minerals here as well, clay, iron and dust. As
the wine sits in the glass it develops with some pretty rough
pharmaceutical notes of medicine cabinet, iodine pills and bandages.
These notes I have often found on the left bank wines like Montrose
or Leoville Las Cases – but never in a right bank wine. The wine is
and tightly structured and very concentrated, and seems to have a
long life ahead of it. The wine is very well made - but not the
ringer I thought it would be. It lacks charm and smoothness compared
to the1959, but possesses greater power and depth.

Flight 2:
1952, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Ruby, garnet color with significant amber at the edge. The nose is
very mature and forward with lots of red cherry fruit, chocolate,
after eight, minerals and toffee. A disturbing note of cabbage. It
takes on the same notes of pharmaceutical items, pills and iodine as
the 196, but on a lesser scale. The wine is medium to full-bodied
with a good fruity character, low acidity and nice mouth feel. The
aftertaste though is somewhat dry and tannic.

1950, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Dark purple color with a slight amber rim. This wine is extremely
elegant and sophisticated with deep notes of blackcurrant, plums,
strawberry, blueberry jam, top soil, herbs and chocolate. Its ultra
perfumed and feminine – very gentle and soft – like the first kiss
from a new girlfriend on a hot summer night. It’s just lovely! The
wine has large and complex body and a nice structure. No doubt that
it’s a big Petrus! The nose is very close to perfection, yet it
lacks some power and strength to get a three digit score. Very
pleasant drinking.

Flight 3:
1955, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Dark ruby/garnet color with a brown hue. The nose offers up
wonderful aromas of jammy fruit, plums, raspberry, old leather,
coffee, brown sugar, scorched earth, mushrooms and vanilla. Very
classic style! The taste is medium to full-bodied with low acidity
and a complex jammy fruit driven taste. The aftertaste is very
elegant and has nice tickling dryness in the end.

1947, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Oh my….. The 1947 Chateau Petrus from a top level bottle. How I’ve
longed to taste this legend – and its just all I’ve ever dreamed it
would be! The color is dark purple with a slight amber edge. The
nose literally explodes from the glass with heavy notes of thick
jammy fruit, strawberry, blackberry, sweet raspberry, forest floor,
crème brûlée, toffee, dark Valhrona chocolate, wet stones and oak.
The wine is multilayered and ultra perfumed - with new fragrances
and aromas appearing with each swing of the glass. It absolutely
gorgeous! Very dense and port-like with a lush and opulent full-
bodied taste. Very high in alcohol, strength and power - yet with a
challenging sweetness, finesse and purity that almost made me cry.
It’s silk in liquid form! One of the most pure wines I have ever
come across! The aftertaste is incredible long, delicious and
mouthwatering. This majestic wine is the very definition of elegance
and finesse!

Flight 4: (a dream flight)
1970, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Dark garnet color with a beautiful amber rim. Dense and lush nose
with loads of dark cherries, Christmas cake, butter, brown sugar,
coffee beans, tobacco and sweet English licorice. There are lots of
minerals as well. Multi layered and extremely concentrated. The
taste is full bodied and sweet with immense power and purity. Very
elegant – and it has a delicate mineral character. The aftertaste is
soft and silky with a slight tickling spiciness. Close to
perfection.
98 points.
1971, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Dark and dense purple color with slight amber edge. I have never
come across a wine that has such a perfumed floral note of violets.
It’s simply extraordinary and completely seductive. Multilayered –
like a giant kaleidoscope. Wonderful notes of dark cherry fruit,
flowers in the summertime on a beautiful meadow, green leaves,
licorice, chocolate, top soil, herbs, tomato plants, crushed stones
and cigar box. The wine is full-bodied, thick and lush and is very
fruit driven. Great intensity and a port like sweetness. It has a
lovely silky texture and the taste is opulent, lush and pure. Sexy
round curves…..totally seductive and divine.

The wines of this flight were very close, both of them being
virtually perfect – and the difference is just a matter of personal
taste and preference. I feel very lucky to have tasted these two
legendary wines against each other – amazing!
Flight 5:
1998, Chateau Lafleur, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Very dark purple color with no signs of age. The style is very
different from Petrus and it was easy to spot it on the blind test -
as it has a clean-cut and very pronounced Cabernet Franc nose. It
has a dusty dry and tannic green nose, young currants, green
peppers, blackberry, mint, eucalyptus, truffles, earth and a spicy
oakiness. The taste is full-bodied, broad and masculine, but a bit
one-sided. It does not posses the same depth, richness and purity of
its stable mate in this flight.
95 points.
1998, Chateau Petrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux, France.
Dark purple color with a blueish rim. Oh my….. What a great depth,
concentration and purity! The wine is a delicious offering of sweet
cherry fruit, strawberry jam, underbrush, leather, spices, smoke,
minerals and new oak. Very young and vibrant. It has a lovely fresh
and forward taste, but the potential and power is far greater and
it’s definitely a wine to hide away for a least a decade. Full-
bodied, broad and masculine - very authoritative and elegant style.
Massive and intense, high in alcohol and glycerin, low acidity and
with a soft and velvety texture. The aftertaste is powerful, strong
and long lasting. Wow, this is terrific stuff!
