Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate June - 2009
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1990 Petrus remains incredibly young, one of the least evolved wines of the vintage (along with Montrose and Beausejour-Duffau). This dense ruby/purple-colored 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!

Strong ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle water rim. Finely spicy nuances, fine nougat touch, orange zest, a hint of black truffle, pleasant roasted aromas, dark berry confit, very multifaceted bouquet. Juicy on the palate, black cherry and nougat, elegant texture, powerful body, peppery spiciness, mineral-salty and long-lasting, an enchanting wine, powerful.

The depth of color, flavor, intensity and levels of richness hit all the right notes. Here you find layers of black plums, blacker cherries, smoke, truffle, dark, bitter chocolate, earth, and flowers that arrive in velvety-textured waves that coat your palate with staying power. The sensuous over 50-second finish seals the deals with its velvet textures.

A classy wine... Expressive and sophisticated, with wonderful ripe fruit and vanilla aromas. The palate is extremely silky with superb flavor concentration. It's very muscular but refined and toned.

The Petrus estate derives its name from a village called "Petrus". Its history is recent and yet this wine is already a legend. Throughout the nineteenth century the area belonged to the Arnaud family. In 1925, a woman from the Libourne region, Ms. Loubat, takes shares in the property. Twenty years later she is the sole owner. Understanding that the wines of the Medoc sell for more than wines of Pomerol, in particular her wines, she did everything she could to take advantage of such a promising terroir.  In a few decades the myth was born. In 1961, Mrs Lacoste and Mr. Lignac, niece and nephew of Mrs. Loubat  inherit the estate.The vineyard is based on the highest hill of the designation, culminating at an altitude of 40 meters. The soil consists mainly of clay which  is well suited to Merlot which constitutes 95% of the plantings. The 12 hectares are the subject of constant work and a constant obsession with détail.  It is thought that Pétrus is more accessible to tasting than  some of its illustrious colleagues..
