After several uninspiring efforts between 1978 and 1988, it is irrefutable that Christian Moueix and his flagship estate, Petrus, have rebounded with a vengeance, producing a bevy of extraordinary wines, even in rain-plagued vintages such as 1992 and 1993. A candidate for the most concentrated wine of the vintage, this 1993 exhibits a saturated purple/plum color, and a sweet nose of black fruits, Asian spices, and vanilla. Huge and formidably ...

Written Notes

The 1993 Petrus had an earthy and barny nose, also full of minerals. One commented how it was short and drying out, but I thought that was a bit extreme. This was a rough and rugged Petrus ; it definitely had a bite. It didn’t have the table manners that most of its siblings possess, but its wood and heat made it a bit of a badass. Roman admired its ‘raspberry cassis,’ and I still found it to be very good

The 1993 Petrus is a vintage that I have never been a particular fan of. Potent bell pepper notes on the tertiary nose are atypical for this Pomerol cru whilst the tannins are coarse and hard, something you do not associate with Petrus. Perhaps larger formats might have more to offer, but at the end of the day, there are plenty more enjoyable off-vintages out there. Tasted at the Petrus dinner at the Épure restaurant in Hong Kong.
