Multi-millionaire collectors will have fun comparing the 1989 and 1990 Petrus. The 1989 has a slightly more saturated color, and seems more tightly knit both aromatically and on the palate. However, this is splitting hairs, as this is another stunningly opulent, rich, full-bodied, amazingly concentrated, exotic, flamboyant Petrus that remains remarkably youthful, and in need of 7-8 more years of bottle age. Additionally, the tannins are slightly more elevated, at least from a tactile impression. However, the 1989 looks to be another 30-year wine, with extraordinary equilibrium between all of its component parts. An amazing effort! Last tasted 11/97

I have always loved this wine. It's a giant, yet also sophisticated and reserved. Still dark-ruby colored, with beautiful aromas of fruits and spices. Full-bodied, with opulent fruit and a depth of flavor that lasts for minutes on the palate. Loads of tobacco and fruit.--Ptrus non-blind vertical. Best after 2010. JS

The 1989 Petrus vies with Haut-Brion and La Mission as the wine of the vintage. Certainly, in Pomerol, nothing comes close. This is a stunning bottle with ferrous-tinged black fruit, freshly rolled tobacco, Earl Grey and just a hint of wild mint. The palate displays heavenly poise and fine tannins. This Pomerol is effortlessly harmonious yet moves discretely into its secondary phase. The crescendo on the finish is beautifully controlled and much more precise than the 1989 Lafleur. Magnificent. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at 67 Pall Mall

Château Pétrus
A l’évocation de Pétrus - indéniablement l’un des plus grands rouges de Bordeaux - de nombreux substantifs viennent à l’esprit, avec un leitmotiv : chaque millésime est mythique, emblématique et somptueux. Quasi-inconnu il y a cent ans, il est aujourd’hui l’un des vins les plus rares au monde. Son destin a pris un nouveau tournant en 1962, époque plutôt récente tout compte fait, lorsque Jean-Pierre Moueix en a assumé la direction et la promotion. En l’espace de dix ans, la famille Moueix en est devenue l’unique propriétaire, avant d’entamer l’agrandissement du vignoble. Ce rachat est considéré comme l’une des meilleures affaires de Pomerol. Le vignoble actuel, d’une superficie de 11,5 hectares, se classe parmi les plus élevés de l’appellation. Le merlot y règne en maître (95%), agrémenté de cabernet franc. Les deux cépages bénéficient de sols argileux bien drainants. Pétrus voue un culte à la qualité, depuis les vignes jusqu’au chai de vinification. Ses vins, à la fois puissants et raffinés, représentent l’apothéose de sa quête de pureté. Le grand vin illustre à merveille le mariage d’un terroir unique et d’un style inimitable. Pétrus offre un éventail majestueux de fruits noirs, d’épices d’Orient et d’un boisé parfaitement intégré, engendrant l’un des vins les plus riches de Pomerol. Deux décennies de garde patiente seront amplement récompensées.
