Description

Petrus 1999 

Pomerol

u. 2bn, 7vts, 1 torn label, 1 damp stained label, 1 nicked label, 2 torn capsules, 4 Mexico import tags, 1 Mexico import tag adhered to label

Less dense colour than 2000. Scented, aromatic, redcurrant nose. Spicy and peppery. Such elegance and finesse. Then the chocolate comes after an hour in the glass. There is a touch of beautiful oak on the palate, with masses of come-hither fruit. This is a great 1999. Fine textured. Seamless and silky. Just so well bred - like the racehorses Christian Moueix likes so much! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
