1993 Petrus 92-94 WA

"Petrus is unquestionably one of the strongest, richest, fullest, most powerful wines of the 1993 vintage. When Petrus enjoys an abundant, healthy crop, production averages between 4000-4500 cases. In 1992, only 2600 cases were produced, and in 1993, a mere 2000 cases. The result may be the wine of the vintage. The color is thick, black/purple. The nose offers up powerful scents of vanilla, Asian spices, black-cherries, and other sweet black fruits. Full-bodied, extremely concentrated, unctuous, and powerful, this massive, chewy, backward Petrus will need 10 years of cellaring and last for 25-35 years." — Wine Advocate, 92-94 pts
