| Tasting Notes | Robert Parker: After several uninspiring efforts between 1978 and1988, it is irrefutable that Christian Moueix and his flagshipestate, Petrus, have rebounded with a vengeance, producing a bevyof extraordinary wines, even in rain-plagued vintages such as 1992and 1993. A candidate for the most concentrated wine of thevintage, this 1993 exhibits a saturated purple/plum color, and asweet nose of black fruits, Asian spices, and vanilla. Huge andformidably rich, this powerful, dense, super-pure wine is a tour deforce in winemaking. For a vintage not known for wines of thisimmense richness and length, this brawny, splendidly endowed Petruspossesses low acidity and high tannin, suggesting that 8-10 yearsof cellaring are required. This should be a 30-year wine, as wellas the vintage's longest-lived effort. Very impressive! |
