* Chateau Petrus 1970 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel u. all top shoulder or better; light label staining, some capsule corrosion, light bin soil "The 1970 Petrus has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. Tight and reserved early in life, it has blossomed into a true blockbuster. This massive, highly-extracted, full-bodied, jammy, thick, unctuously-textured wine possesses a huge, spice, tobacco, black-cherry, mocha-scented nose. It is a real turn-on. The wine is fully mature, but it has at least 20 years of life remaining. A spectacular Petrus, it is now superior to the 1971, which out-performed it for nearly two decades. Owners of this wine have a true nectar in their cellars." R. Parker, 98 pts. 06/96 12 bottles (owc)
