Description
Petrus 1990
Pomerol
u. 6bn, 4 nicked labels, 1 nicked and slightly torn label, 3 wine-stained labels, slightly scuffed capsules, signs of seepage
There is a deeper colour on the 1990 than on the 1989 - denser. Incredibly opulent, plummy Petrus. Very voluptuous. Wonderful dried fruit flavours - almost Napa-like. Mocha and mint notes. Extraordinary, ultra-ripe plums and prunes taste. Atypical. Sweet aniseed finish. The great comparison is between this and the 1989. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
