Lot Details

Description

Petrus 1989

Pomerol

u. 1vts, otherwise levels into the neck, slightly scuffed capsules, packed in 12 bottle original wooden case, missing lid

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.
