美味しいワインと出会う旅

ペトリュスを3本飲み比べました。

コンディションは良かったです。偽物でもないし・・・

86はワインバブルの前に買ったものです。76・80は自宅の地下セラーの埋蔵品です。

1986Ch.PETRUS・ペトリュス 

無難に美味しいペトリュスでした。

肉厚もよくスケール感もあって香りも程々、まだまだ熟成しそうな感じです。

ただペトリュスとしてドカ～～ンと来るものはありませんでした。

優等生的ワインです。

1986 Petrus

Jan 2003 Robert Parker 86 Drink: 2003 - 2010 $1200-$2234
This is another wine made during the period when Christian Moueix and his conservative oenologist, Jean-Charles Berrouet, were obviously harvesting very early and also, to my mind, doing entirely too much fining and filtration before the wine got in bottle. My cask tasting notes were significantly higher on all the vintages in the early to mid-eighties, but as most of the wines have aged in the bottle, they have become increasingly weedy, herbaceous, with Medoc-like austerity and excessive tannins for the meager fruit. The 1986 is showing medium ruby/garnet color with considerable amber at the edge. The indifferent bouquet offers up notes of roasted vegetables, Japanese green tea, some smoke, a hint of sweet cherry, and some loamy, earthy, almost mushroomy notes in the background. The wine is austere on the palate, with high tannin and moderate fruit. For Petrus, this is a major disappointment and continues to decline in quality. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 11/02.

Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition
Jan 1998 Robert Parker 87 Drink: 1997 - 2010 $1200-$2234
The more I tasted this wine, the more I felt it leaves a lot to be desired. The wine has developed an herbaceous tea, smoky, and cherry-scented nose with new oak lurking in the background. The wine, which has lost its baby fat, sags a bit in the middle, and reveals a Medoc-like austerity and tannic structure atypical for a Pomerol. It is closer to medium than full body, and appears to be going through an awkward stage. Will it come around, or continue to lose fruit? Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 2/97

Aug 1993 Robert Parker 89 Drink: 1998 - 2010 $1200-$2234 (200)
The 1986 displays a monolithic character in its tea, herb, and dusty berry aromas. Dense and powerful with considerable tannin, this is an admirably concentrated, medium to full-bodied wine. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2010. Last tasted, 5/93.

シャトー・ペトリュス［1980］

これは凄いですね。開けたてからトリュフ香が立ちこめます。一緒にテーブルにフレッシュのトリュフの料理があるのですが・・・

久しぶりにペトリュス香がドカ～～～ンと来た感じです。

スケール感は小さめですが、余韻も長く、徐々に鉄分や赤錆びの香りが出て来ます。

まさにペトリュスの土壌を香りが示しています。

余韻も長く何時までも飲んでいたいそんなワインでした。

1980 Petrus

Feb 1996 Robert Parker 89 Drink: 1996 - 2006 $1334-$1665
Talk about a thrill a second, as well as unprecedented decadence (at least for me), consider the rarity of a flight of six double magnums of Petrus! Because there were not many people at the tasting, there was the possibility of having several large glasses of these wines, making judging them all the more fun. And let's not forget the medical benefit of flushing the fat out of one's arteries with such remarkable juice! The 1980 Petrus turned in a surprisingly strong performance. A roasted herb, melted road tar, and sweet, jammy-scented nose is followed by a rich, medium to full-bodied wine with considerable length. It appears to have become more impressive with age. Could this wine really be superior to the 1981 and 1979? It is fully mature, so drink it over the next decade.

The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series IV - Flight B of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. Many years after the tasting from which this note derives allegations were made concerning the authenticity of old and rare bottles of wine sold by Hardy Rodenstock to collectors around the world. The matter has been the subject of numerous articles, litigation and at least one book. Mr. Parker believes that the wines served to him at this tasting were authentic so this note and the others from that specific tasting continue to be posted on eRobertParker.com.

シャトー・ペトリュス［1976］　750ml

76は完熟でした。古酒化が始まる一歩手前です。まだマディラは感じません。

無駄なタンニンが完全に落ちて非常に滑らかです。素晴らしいですね。

酸も綺麗で、果実も透明感があって素晴らしい、余韻も長く、こう言うペトリュスも良いな～～と思わせる一本でした。

The 1976 Petrus has been fully mature since it was released. The wine has always possessed intense aromas of over-ripe tomatoes, roasted vegetables, and red and black fruits touched by sweet toasty oak. It continues to be a pleasing, fat style of Petrus, without the body, weight, and depth of a great year. It needs to be drunk up.
