1977 Pétrus Pomerol Rouge 750ml

1977 Pétrus: Rare Library Right Bank Collector Legend

The 1977 Pétrus Pomerol Rouge 750ml is an exceedingly scarce, library-aged collector artifact from the undisputed king of Pomerol. In particular, Pétrus occupies the highest point on the Pomerol plateau, situated on ancient blue clay soils over iron-rich crasse de fer. In addition, nearly five decades of gentle cellar evolution have woven its structure into complex tertiary beauty.

Tasting Notes for 1977 Pétrus

The wine opens with mature aromas of dried black cherry, leather, cigar box, black truffle, and dried violets. Furthermore, nuanced notes of black tea, forest floor, and dark cocoa emerge with patient aeration. On the palate, silky, fully integrated tannins carry a savory mid-palate of dried dark berries. Consequently, the finish lingers with noble Right Bank poise, iron minerality, and classic composure.
