Note di degustazione
The 1959 Petrus was my second bottle within six months. This is another splendid example. It has a fabulous bouquet with intense red fruit aromas infused with blood orange, crushed stone and just a hint of gingerbread. There is a brilliant sense of mineralité and tension in this Petrus as it gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, perhaps eschewing the corpulence you sometimes find in this vintage. Fine-boned with impressive clarity and poise, it fans out gloriously with its tensile red fruit toward the finish, where faint hints of clove and bay leaf linger in the mouth. This is one of the best bottles of several I have now tasted. Tasted at the 1940s/1950s dinner at Epure in Hong Kong.

The 1962 and 1959 Petrus were two of the finest bottles I have ever tasted of these vintages. The 1959 was unctuous, sweet, gloriously fruity, thick, and jammy, with gobs of glycerin, full body, and a viscous, long, heady finish. Fully mature, but revealing considerable intensity and life, this wine that will drink well for another 10-15 years. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series IV - Flight A 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.
