Description
Petrus 1990
Pomerol
Levels bn or into the neck, 3 slightly torn labels, 1 scuffed label, 3 nicked labels, 1 marked label, 7 scuffed capsules, 1 slight signs of old seepage
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.
