Chateau Petrus 1990 Chateau Petrus 1990 Pomerol, Cru Exceptionnel Lot 220: 9 import labels partially overlap bottom edge of main labels, 2 torn, 3 nicked and 6 scuffed labels, scuffed capsules, Lot 221: Wine comes from 3 different importers, 4 slightly stained and 1 heavily stained labels, 4 slightly scuffed, 1 slightly loose, 1 wrinkled and 2 nicked labels, Lot 222: All levels into neck, slightly wrinkled labels, 1 slightly torn label, slightly scuffed capsules 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. SS. Lot 220 12 bts (sc) per lot: USD 25000-35000 The very word Petrus creates a "frisson" unlike any other wine name - and the liquid in the glass induces a dream-like silence as its enormous, almost roasted flavour envelops the palate. 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. SS. Quantity: 1
