Petrus 1990 (12 BT)

Petrus 1990

Pomerol

u. 1ts, otherwise levels bn or into the neck, slightly nicked labels, scuffed capsules, 2 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
