The 1962 Petrus was ‘gorgeous’ per James; it was another beautiful and elegant Petrus, but it also had stuffing. The Hedonist found it to be a shadow of 1983. I found it a bit more seductive, with depth and lots of red and purple fruit. There was a lot going on on the palate, ‘very complex’ per The Hedonist. Can I use the word ‘on’ consecutively, by the way? There was a sweet core on the palate, which was a bit candied, in a delightful way (95). - JK

A very delicate and refined Pétrus, with deliciously fruity black olive and tobacco flavors, medium tannins and a long finish. Still incredibly fresh and youthful. (JS) - WS
