A REMARKABLE VINTAGE OF PETRUS
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
In original wooden case. One slightly damaged capsule. One slightly damaged label otherwise excellent appearance
Tasting note: The 1990 Pétrus remains incredibly young, one of the least evolved wines of the vintage (along with Montrose and Beausejour-Duffau). This dense ruby/purple-coloured effort is beginning to hint at the massive richness and full-bodied intensity lurking beneath its wall of tannin. The vintages sweetness, low acidity, and velvety tannins are present in abundance, and the wine is massive in the mouth as well as incredibly pure and well-delineated. I thought it would be drinkable by now, but it appears another 5-10 years will pass before it begins to reach its plateau of maturity. This wine is capable of lasting at least four more decades. An incredible achievement! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 183 Jun 2009
