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
Senza dubbio tra i veri grandi rossi di Bordeaux, i vini Pétrus possono essere descritti in molti modi, ma ogni annata è innegabilmente iconica, leggendaria e sontuosa. Producendo i vini tra i più rari del mondo, lo Château è rimasto quasi ignorato fino a cent'anni fa. Il destino della tenuta è cambiato piuttosto recentemente, nel 1962, quando Jean-Pierre Moueix iniziò a gestire l'azienda e a promuovere il vino. In dieci anni la famiglia Moueix divenne l'unica proprietaria di Pétrus e ampliò il vigneto, facendo uno dei più grandi affari di Pomerol. Oggi il lotto di 11,5 ettari è tra i migliori della denominazione, piantato con una percentuale molto elevata di Merlot (95%) e il resto a Cabernet Franc. Queste varietà beneficiano dei terreni argillosi ben drenati che compongono il suolo. Pétrus è estremamente attento alla qualità, dal vigneto alla cantina, e la ricerca di purezza è alla base di vini potenti ma raffinati. Il Grand Vin è l'apice del terroir unico della tenuta e del suo stile inimitabile. Il Pétrus è un insieme magistrale di frutti neri, spezie orientali e legno impeccabilmente integrato e ciò lo rende uno dei vini più ricchi di Pomerol. Una decina d'anni di pazienza saranno ampiamente ricompensati.
