that ’45 label looks too pristine to be real, edges/corners look off to me. dunno.
also fill level on the ’45 is like to the top….you’d think it would be lower by now

The fill level on that ‘45 is really high. You would expect it to be lower. So I would say fake.

Fake as hell. Though I’d like a closeup of the word Petrus.

Take more pictures and send them to Pétrus. They’re the only ones who will have a definitive answer.

You should just assume all Petrus from the 40’s is fake unless you have iron clad provenance.

The vintage font on the ‘83 looks really shonky

The font for 1993 seems off and as mentioned the fill height on the 45 is high. Definitely need more photos of both and also information on provenance.

Looks fake.
The older vintages of Petrus has a much ”clearer” green bottle. It’s not a dark tint and much more see through. But might be just the light in the picture.
Also is the top waxed? I don’t think Petrus ever waxed their corks but I could be wrong.
With all of that said, there is probably more 1945 fakes than real ones.

The 45 looks fake to me, fill is too high for a 80 year old wine and the label paper doesnt actually look age worn but rather just made to look dirty and old.

Does anybody on this thread, and I have no problem with your own choices, actually spend more than $10,000 for a bottle of wine? Heck, I’ll lower it to $1,000. Pomerol’s seem like something only an emperor could afford.
