Pétrus--Vintage 1990
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Excellent appearance. Three slightly damaged labels, two slightly creased. Levels into neck. In original wooden case
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 vintage's 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 June 2009
