Incredible blue chip wines from a prestigious Oakville collection. Impeccably cellared.
1979 Petrus Pomerol from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1979 Petrus Pomerol from Robert Parker - I remember how stunning the 1979 Petrus was from cask, but it has never lived up to its early potential. Even from an Imperial, the 1979 Petrus is a lean, compact, tannic, hard, austere wine lacking the richness and charm of the vintage’s top Pomerols. The color was a healthy medium ruby. While the wine does not possess the vegetal overtones of the 1978, it leaves a great deal to be desired.
