Description from the seller
Pétrus 1947 – Pomerol
Grape variety: primarily Merlot, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc in some older vintages. The 1947 vintage is generally considered a Merlot-dominant—or effectively pure Merlot—wine.
What does Merlot contribute here?
very ripe, dark fruit
plums and black cherries
soft, almost creamy texture
chocolate/cocoa
truffle
herbs/spices
after decades: tobacco, leather, and earthy notes
The 1947 is regarded as a legendary Pétrus. Tasting notes for the Vandermeulen-bottled 1947 mention black fruit, black truffle, mint, tobacco, and cedar, with a very long finish.
Château Margaux 1947 – Margaux
The situation here is quite different.
Primary grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The precise blend of such an old vintage cannot be reliably determined using modern percentage standards, as the composition has evolved over the years.
Cabernet Sauvignon provides:
structure
tannins
cassis/black fruit
longevity
Merlot contributes a degree of roundness and softness, while Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot add complexity.
1947 was a very warm year for Margaux. Château Margaux itself describes the 1947 vintage as exceptionally powerful yet fresh, featuring an intense bouquet and very ripe fruit. According to the château, the tannins remain clearly perceptible and can impart a slightly dry sensation.
Aromas often noted in matured bottles include:
cassis
raspberry
cedar
smoke
liquorice
old books
mushroom
dried fig
iron/blood-like earthy notes
