Bid Information

 

One 750ml bottle of the Extremely Rare and Excellent 1986 Vintage of Château Petrus. Château Petrus is the Famous Property in Pomerol that produces wines of Power and Smoothness with Incredible Concentration. This 1986 Vintage has been rated a High 92 points by  The Wine Spectator  Magazine. Here is Their  Review , " 92 out of 100 .......... Dark red, with an amber edge. Aromas of chocolate, stewed berries, Merlot and raisins. Full-bodied, velvety and rich. Lovely palate. Delicious now, but will hold on. An autumnal wine.--Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now............." - The Wine Spectator Magazine.  Its hard to believe that one of the world`s Rarest and Most Expensive Wines was virtually unheard of 30 years ago. It was only when the Mouiex family bought a half share in the property in 1962 that its true potential began to be fully realised. The 11.4 hectare vineyard is located on a plateau on the highest part of Pomerol in the far east of the appellation. The vineyards lie on well-drained clay-rich soil with gravel and `crasse de fer`/impermeable iron-pan as the subsoil. 95% of the vines are Merlot and some of these are 70 Plus years old. The wine is Extraordinarily Rich, Powerful and Concentrated, often with characteristics of Chocolates, truffles, Asian spices and ultra-ripe, creamy, black fruits. It is usually approachable after a decade or so in bottle, but the Wines from the Very Greatest Years will Continue Improving for Many More Years. This Rare Bottle has been Perfectly Stored and is in Mint Condition and is in Commercial Storage. Thanks for looking.
