Petrus 1978
Pomerol · Bordeaux · Mature Collector Vintage
Product Description
Petrus 1978 is a mature Pomerol for collectors who appreciate tertiary complexity, softer structure, and old-Bordeaux nuance.
Available notes describe red cherry, wild raspberry, leather, wild heather, chalk dust, sous-bois, blackcurrant, plum, floral tones, and sweet mature tannins.
This is not considered one of the most powerful Petrus vintages, so bottle condition, provenance, and expectations should be carefully managed.
Vintage Character
The 1978 vintage is generally positioned as mature, elegant, and bottle-condition dependent. It is more about grace and tertiary complexity than monumental concentration.
