Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Excellent appearance
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. Although it is remarkably accessible because of its voluptuous texture, this wine has not begun to develop secondary nuances. It should hit its peak in 10-15 years, and last for three decades. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted 11/97. 100 Points: Robert Parker Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
