Château Pétrus--Vintage 1989
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled Both lots levels: into neck; very good appearance
"The '89 Pétrus at a recent tasting was impossibly massive wine. Somewhat closed on the nose, there were suggestions of ripe black fruit, earth, animal notes, chocolate, pepper, and mint. On the palate the wine was very full-bodied, tannic, rich, and firmly textured, with great length and an imposing but finally hugely impressive demeanor. Wow! It will be years, though, until this shows its full potential." CC, August 2010
