Petrus 1989

My wine club managed to get two bottles of Petrus 1989 for a good price on auction. We recently opened a bottle to celebrate the birth of my daughter. If I could describe it in one word: extraordinary. My notes:

Very floral with leather, graphite, cedar, cherries, dried plums, smoked meat, mushrooms. Harmonious and complex, this was a symphony of flavours that continued to evolve in the glass over time, with a finish that went on and on. Truly a vin d’emotion that has to be experienced first-hand, words simply don’t do it justice. This still has years left in it, which is amazing for a 35-year old wine! 100 points

Cheers and happy holidays to all!
