July 28, 2014 - lovely mature wine with polished tannins. Perfect to drink now.

September 13, 2010 - Still drinkable but on the way down. Very little fruit left. Lots of earth taste, leaves, and liquorice

July 3, 2010 - Very good drinkable Bordeaux. But not typically Pessac I would say.

April 4, 2010 - Decanted 2 hours. Medium-mature colour. A slightly muted nose. Some cassis, some graphite; not much else. Smooth entry. No real oak noticeable anymore. Not much fruit really; some stony black fruit eventually. Not particularly complex. Acidity and tannins showing, but they give it good vigour. Medium-bodied, elegant (but bordering on thin?). Some length. Good, but somewhat thin for me. Seems unlikely to improve.
