Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Excellent appearance. Levels into neck
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: At Penning-Roswell's '10-year' first growth tasting in 1999 it was still deep, youthful with opaque core; and a slightly chocolatey nose. As so often, even with these top Pomerols, far more interesting on the palate: sweet, rich, full of fruit, rounded. Most recently, a double magnum: still virtually opaque; good fruit, truffles; fairly full-bodied, a touch of austerity, good texture (which should have alerted me), great length. Tasted blind I though it was the Latour. Last noted at the Eigensatzs' Hotel Eden-Parc in Bad Schwalbach, Nov 2001 **(***) 2015 - 2030 M.B.
