Petrus 1989 (5 BT)

Petrus 1989

Pomerol

Levels bn or into the neck, 2 slightly damp-stained labels, 2 loose and torn capsules, Mexico import tags, ex-HDH The Steven Verlin Collection, May 4-5, 2007

From magnum in 2016, this has all the exoticism of the cru, with richness and depth, still evolving with its powerful tannins. Nevertheless, it slips down with great ease! I think, now, the 1990 has more depth and volume, but this is pure joy, fine- textured and with myriad, spicy tastes. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
