Chateau Petrus 1989 Chateau Petrus 1989 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel Lot 6637: 2 labels very slightly wrinkled at base, otherwise excellent levels and appearance Lot 6638: 2 levels just in neck, 2 capsules slightly damaged around collar, 2 capsules slightly corroded, otherwise excellent levels and appearance Lot 6639: Slightly marked labels, otherwise excellent appearance Lot 6640: 1 slightly glue striped label, 1 soiled label, 2 labels very slightly nicked at base, 1 slightly stained label, 1 slightly nicked nicked label, labels slightly damaged and stained around base The heat came earlier in 1989 than in 1990, which gives that exotic scent which is inimitable Petrus. Glorious leather and liquorice taste. Just so "oriental". Landmark Petrus. Limitless dimension. A real chocolate flavour to it. This has all the mystery of Petrus forged in exceptional climatic conditions. Flavours of venison and violets. In 2011, that marvellous roasted raisins and liquorice nose that draws you in and seduces you. So utterly sweet, luscious and embracing.

The sheer exoticism of this revered vineyard, where clay combines with Merlot to make something wildly heady, needs to be experienced by everyone once in their life (preferably many more times!). Petrus does not taste like other Bordeaux - it is not "classic" but stupendously original, full of oriental spice box flavours which unfold endlessly. A one-off wine that inhabits a world of its own and, of course, a rarity due to its small (11.4 hectare) size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
