Petrus 1959

"The 1959 Petrus is rightly hailed as one of the best ever made in the twilight years of owner Mme. Loubat. This bottle has a pixelated bouquet with fine mineralité and red berry fruits with that hint of pain d’épices. The palate is medium-bodied and fine-boned with tobacco and bay, lightly spiced without perhaps the clarity on the finish compared to previous bottles. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful wine that will keep motoring along for many years." Vinous
