Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Lot 36 label signed by Christian Moueix, slight signs of old seepage Lot 37-38 in original wooden cases; both lots with lightly glue stained labels, slight signs of old seepage; Lots 39-40 have different importer slip labels Parcel: lots 37-38 and 39-40 "Multi-millionaire collectors will have fun comparing the 1989 and 1990 Pétrus. 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 Pétrus 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! Last tasted 11/97." Robert Parker Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998) 1 dozen bottles per lot
