Petrus 1989 (12 BT)

Petrus 1989

Pomerol

Levels bn or into the neck, 2 slightly nicked labels, 2 slightly wine-stained labels, 1 slight signs of old seepage, 8 Mexican import tags adhered to labels and 3 adhered to capsules, different importers

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
