Pétrus--Vintage 1989
10 bottles per lot
1989 PÉTRUS Ten bottles of the blockbuster 1989 Pétrus, a wine that holds an exalted position, with the 1961, 1982 and 1990 as one of the great vintages of Pétrus of all time. Pétrus--Vintage 1989 Pomerol, cru exceptionnel Levels: bottom neck or better; two signs of old seepage, one wine stained label "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!
