Petrus 1989 (1 DM)

Petrus 1989

Pomerol

u. bn, slightly damp-stained and nicked label, scuffed capsule

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
