Default TN Chateau Petrus 1973 - followup

I posted detailed notes on Petrus 73 here about two years ago. I just
opened a bottle, and it is still holding well. It is a bit lighter than
the last time, but the balance is still quite good. This must be one of
the few 73s still worth drinking. I believe the one remaining bottle
might hold up fairly well for about two more years. The fruit is still
good, and the tannins are not excessive, so the wine is pleasant alone
or with food. Of course it is much less powerful than a Petrus from oe
of the best years. This wine cost me a bit under $US 15. shortly after
release. How the world of wine has changed since then.
