(Pétrus) Petrus 1921 - 1966, all the great years, in Magnum (Melisse Restaurant, Santa Monica, California): From magnum - started with an initially reticent nose that opened to deep blackberry. An elegant, stately parade of deep espresso fruit across the palate ended in a finish of over 90 seconds. And it kept getting better as it sat in the glass. 100+ pts.
