Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Tasting note: a phenomenally rich, well-endowed wine, the 1990 Petrus has been magical from the first time I tasted it in cask. The color is a dense, jammy plum/purple. The wine possesses a knockout nose of black fruits intertwined with aromas of toasty new oak, caramel and flowers. Massively thick and full-bodied, with slightly lower acidity and sweeter tannin then its older sibling the 1989, the 1990 is an extraordinarily rich, seamless wine with layers of flavor, and finish which lasted for nearly 45 seconds. Although it is remarkably accessible because of its voluptuous texture, this wine has not begun to develop its secondary nuances. It should hit its peak in 10 - 15 years and last for 3 decades. Anticipated maturity: 2006 -2035. Last tasted 6/98. Robert Parker. Bordeaux, A Comprehensive Guide.
