Parker about Peter 1989
The 1989 Pétrus is the greatest vintage produced at this estate under Christian Mouiex's administration, and it's one of winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet's best. It not only rivals but may even surpass Haut-Brion for the title of "wine of the vintage," although I have never drunk them side by side, and the two are so different in style and so high in quality that such a comparison would probably be as futile as it would be pleasurable. Unfurling in the glass with a rich bouquet of dark berries, black truffles, exotic spices, cedar and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a deep and layered core of fruit framed by beautifully refined tannins and an immensely long finish. Textural and seamless, this profound Pomerol delivers everything that one dreams about when one reads about Pétrus.

Peter 1989
The 1989 Pétrus is another legendary vintage from the renowned Château Pétrus in the Pomerol region of Bordeaux, France. Made primarily from Merlot grapes (approx. 95%) with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc (approx. 5%), this wine represents the exceptional quality and prestige of this winery.
The 1989 vintage benefited from an exceptionally warm and dry summer, leading to early and optimal ripening of the grapes. These ideal weather conditions allowed for the harvest of the highest quality grapes, forming the basis for a wine of impressive depth and complexity.
The Pétrus 1989 displays a deep ruby red color that gradually fades into a dense garnet red with age. The bouquet of this wine is exceptionally rich and complex, with intense aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries, cherries, and plums. These fruit notes are complemented by subtle hints of truffles, tobacco, cedarwood, and sweet spices, lending the wine remarkable complexity.
On the palate, the Pétrus 1989 is powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable structure and silky tannins. Well-integrated acidity provides freshness and balance, while the wine offers a long and persistent finish. Over time, the wine develops additional nuances of earth, leather, and mineral notes, further enhancing its complexity.
The Pétrus 1989 has outstanding aging potential and can continue to evolve over many decades. Often considered one of Pétrus' finest vintages, it has earned a legendary reputation among wine lovers and critics alike. This vintage often commands high prices at auction and is a sought-after collector's item.
