Petrus 1990 OWC 12

The Petrus 1990, packaged in an original wooden case, stands as a testament to the exemplary craftsmanship of this renowned Pomerol estate. Originating from the celebrated Bordeaux region, Petrus is primarily derived from Merlot grapes, harnessing the unique terroir of its location—characterized by clay and iron-rich soils that contribute to the richness and depth of the wine. This vintage, hailed for its approachability and elegance, boasts remarkable technical precision. The 1990 growing season was notably warm, yielding grapes of exceptional ripeness. The resulting wine presents an intense, opulent character with a deep ruby hue. Tasting notes reveal a complex bouquet, with luscious dark fruit aromas intermingling with subtle hints of truffle and earth. On the palate, the wine is velvety, showcasing ripe plum, blackberry, and a delicate spice that lingers elegantly. The tannins are incredibly refined, leading to a long, harmonious finish.
