A RARE CASE OF MAGNUMS OF PETRUS 1990
Recently removed from professional storage and now lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Immaculate appearance. Levels into neck
In original wooden case
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 flavor, 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. Last tasted 11/97. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Editon
