"After several uninspiring efforts between 1978 and 1988, it is irrefutable that Christian Moueix and his flagship estate, Pétrus, have rebounded with a vengeance, producing a bevy of extraordinary wines, even in rain-plagued vintages such as 1992 and 1993. A candidate for the most concentrated wine of the vintage, this 1993 exhibits a saturated purple/plum color, and a sweet nose of black fruits, Asian spices, and vanilla. Hugh and formidable rich, this powerful, dense, super-pure wine is a tour de force in winemaking. For a vintage not know for wines of this immense richness and length, this brawny, splendidly endowed Pétrus possesses low acidity and high tannin, suggesting that 8-10 years of cellaring are required. This should be a 30-year wine, as well as the vintage's longest-lived effort. Very impressive!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109 (Feb 1997)
