Chateau Petrus 1990 Chateau Petrus 1990 Pomerol Excellent levels Lot 6: Label soiled and torn, capsule slightly corroded Lot 7: 1 with label remnants only, 1 label missing, capsules cut to reveal branded corks 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 Lot 7 2 bts (cn) per lot: GBP 2400-3000 per lot: USD 3400-4200 per lot: EUR 3000-3600 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 (11.5 hectares) size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW LYING IN GREENFORD, MIDDLESEX Offered Duty Paid only Quantity: 1
