Petrus 1990 (6 BT)

Petrus 1990

Pomerol

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

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
