Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Lot 155 levels; into neck. Château embossed and vintage on cork; signed by Christian Mouiex; rewaxed capsule. Lot 156-158 are excellent appearance and levels. Lot 159 light glue stained labels All lots in original wooden cases "Multi-millionaire collectors will have fun comparing the 1989 and 1990 Petrus. The 1989 has a slightly more saturated color, and seems more tightly knit both aromatically and on the palate. However, this is splitting hairs, as this is another stunningly opulent, rich, full-bodied, amazingly concentrated, exotic, flamboyant Petrus that remains remarkably youthful, and in need of 7-8 more years of bottle age. Additionally, the tannins are slightly more elevated, at least from a tactile impression. However, the 1989 looks to be another 30-year wine, with extraordinary equilibrium between all of its component parts. An amazing effort!
