1990 Chateau Petrus Niseko Winery including Santa Barbara

including Santa Barbara

feather-light and incredibly thin

initially dismissed by some critics who found the standard-release wines somewhat austere relative to the generous 2010 and 2012 vintages

Intensity and depth are highlighted nicely here in a vintage that ended on October 16th (much later than 2020)

placing it firmly in the second tier of recent classic vintages (below the legendary 2016 and 2015 but above the cooler and more linear 2014)
