Petrus 1999 (3 BT)

Petrus 1999

Pomerol

u. 3bn, 1 slightly scuffed and slightly nicked 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
