(Pétrus) Petrus 1921 - 1966, all the great years, in Magnum (Melisse Restaurant, Santa Monica, California): From magnum - tight nose that began to open after a half hour or so, yielding olive scents and a hint of raspberry; a lot like a classic Medoc, with great structure, big tannins, berry fruit and a somewhat tannic finish

dinner at Jims (guilford ct): surprisingly tannic and young although it opened up over time, never reach greatness. surprisingly like my note from 10 years ago

Star anise and lipstick hints on nose, which I don’t love. Plush, velvety fruit with palate that retains sweetness.

cheers - perfect condition, well kept bottle. Opened for 30 minutes, then decanted for 2 hours. Beautiful color, nose, and palate. My first Petrus....wow, amazing
