Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
All lots are offered in cartons except lot 366. Lot 365: One slightly damp affected label. Levels into neck. Lot 366: Excellent appearance. Levels into neck. Lot 367: Some slightly discoloured capsules otherwise excellent appearance and levels. Lot 368: Some slightly discoloured capsules. One slightly stained label otherwise excellent appearance and levels
Tasting Note: This is splitting hairs, as this is another stunningly opulent, rich, full-bodied, amazingly concentrated, exotic, flamboyant Petrus 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. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 (Jan 1998)
