Pétrus 1989
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
In original wooden case. Two slightly damaged labels, otherwise good appearance. Levels: eleven into neck one top-shoulder
Tasting note: This wine is more tightly knit, more tannic, but every bit the blockbuster concentrated effort that its younger sibling, the 1990, is. It seems to need more coaxing from the glass, but the colour is virtually identical, a dense ruby/purple with no lightening at the edge. In the mouth the wine cuts a broad swath, with spectacular intensity, richness, massive concentration, and high levels of tannin, yet the wine is fabulously well-delineated and like its sibling, the 1990, has a finish that goes on for nearly a minute. It does not seem to be quite as evolved as the 1990, and my instincts suggest there is a bit more tannin, but both are as prodigious as P\aetrus can be. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040. Robert Parker; Bordeaux Book 4th Edition (2003).
