Pomerol
u. 1vts, otherwise bn or into the neck, 3 bin- soiled labels, 2 slightly wine-stained labels, 2 slightly scuffed labels, scuffed capsules, 3 Mexico import tags adhered to labels, 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
