1974 Petrus - Pomerol - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Petrus pomerol 1974
consistently well-preservedFor Pétrus 1974, Merlot is the primary—and historically dominant—grape variety.
Merlot: approximately 95%
Cabernet Franc: approximately 5%
Cabernet Sauvignon plays virtually no role at Pétrus.
Consequently, Pétrus stands as a remarkable example of a highly prestigious Merlot-based Bordeaux, whereas many famous Bordeaux wines from the Médoc rely heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon.
After 52 years, a bottle from the 1974 vintage has naturally undergone significant evolution: the initial fruitiness of the Merlot has given way to more tertiary aromas, such as dried fruit, truffle, forest floor, and leather.
