Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Lot 40 different importer slip labels Lots 42-44 in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 42-44 "The phenomenally rich, well-endowed 1990 Pétrus has been magical from the first time I tasted it in cask. The color is a dense, jammy plum/purple. The wine possesses a knock-out nose of black fruits intertwined with aromas of toasty new oak, caramel, and flowers. Massively rich and full-bodied, with slightly lower acidity and sweeter tannin than its older sibling, the 1989, the 1990 is an extraordinarily rich, seamless wine with layers of flavor, and a finish that lasts for nearly 45 seconds. Although it is remarkably accessible because of its voluptuous texture, this wine has not begun to develop secondary nuances. It should hit its peak in 10-15 years, and last for three decades." Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted 11/97. Robert Parker Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998) 1 dozen bottles per lot
