Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels into neck
Tasting Note: Multi-millionaire collectors will have fun comparing the 1989 and 1990 Pétrus. The 1989 has a slightly more saturated colour, and seems more tightly knit both aromatically and on the palate. However, this is splitting hairs, as this is another stunningly opulent, rich, full-bodied, amazingly concentrated, exotic, flamboyant Pétrus 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. An amazing effort! Last tasted 11/97. 100 Points: Robert Parker; Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998).
