Petrus - Pomerol 1928 (Label Damage)

It is wonderfully balanced with fabulous intensity and a long

This is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée save for being even spicier and displaying a bit more wood influence

spectacular and about the only nit is a discreet touch of backend warmth

This is not a big wine in the context of a Gevrey grand cru but it's balanced and classically styled

The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard (which has been bottled and will be released in 1996) should turn out to be one of the most exceptional wines of the vintage

An expressive and notably more elegant than usual nose offers up notes of various red berries

Its creamy freshness is further emphasised by the textural delicacy of its mousse

There is enough wood to notice along with a hint of menthol on the markedly earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas where background hints of spice and floral elements are in evidence

and luxuriantly rich layers of viscous

long and elegant

weight and power to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract that buffers well the firm tannic spine on the strikingly long finish
