Heartbreaking...47 Petrus leakers

These arrived in a cellar recently. Vandermeulen bottlings.Corks had slipped on the reefer truck ride. The pics are hard to see the fill levels, but one was 3/4 gone, the other was about 1/3 gone.

Other random weirdness - one bottle had jagged broken glass under the capsule...not broken recently but almost like they had used a broken jagged bottle when they bottled it.

We drank what was left of one. It was decent. Thick, dark (had been severely shaken up of couse), no tannin, oily, some decent porty, plummy fruit, but mostly a nutty, oxidized charcter. Hard to judge since they were so fried, but I imagine the one of them would have been pretty good. TRAGIC!
