Pétrus Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
...this remains one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted. Whether fining and filtration pulled more out of it than was intended, only the proprietor knows. However, the 1982 Petrus turned in a strong performance in Philadelphia in contrast to other tastings when it has been less than spectacular. The color reveals some amber at the edge. A sweet nose of caramel, roasted herbs, cherry jam, cedar, and smoke is followed by a thick, full-bodied, unctuously-textured, low acid Petrus that is approaching full maturity. Robert Parker

One of these are fake. Can you guess which?

Beautiful bottle, stored impeccably, whether it's worth the price you pay I'm not sure, but damn it's an amazing wine, so well balanced/smooth/elegant now. Outstanding.

Beautiful nose, entry and mid palate, the finish a bit frayed. This bottle still showed plenty of life.

Yes. It’s the greatest wine I’ve had. Yes, I’ve had poor bottles of the 82. This one is showing well though. Length and complex with layer upon layer. Celebrate greatness !

Ethereal. Outstanding balance, body, length. Truly the greatest wine I've ever had. It's the pinnacle of a classic Bordeaux that has evolved into liquid perfection. The nose hits you with dried rose petals , leather, tobacco , black wet soil and dried cherries. The body is so full and complex with layer upon layer. It's become light bodied but in its youth it must have been a powerhouse . For me it was the the length. Quite long and full of wonderful notes and as it faded it just kept giving and giving So much to admire. Truly impressive I can not see a fault. Impeccably held and stored no doubt.
