Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
U.S. import slip label. Corroded and cut capsule to reveal fully branded cork. Signs of seepage. Badly damp-stained and damaged label. Not in original wooden case
Tasting Note: The phenomenally rich, well-endowed 1990 Pétrus has been magical from the first time I tasted it in cask. The colour 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 flavour, and a finish that lasts for nearly 45 seconds. Robert Parker Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
