Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 14, 2015 - Voici le roi. Such a winning bouquet as this comes out of its adolescence. Delivers all of the pessac hallmarks but with such an aristocratic flair. Black cherries, pipe tobacco, terra cotta - you know how it goes. Complex, suave, complete, and very, very long on the palate.

We had this by the glass at Le Taillevent (coravin from fresh bottle) and the sommelier was, let's say, amicable. Ah, Monsieur enjoys Haut Brion? (Pour gets larger) and Monsieur has visited the chateau (pour gets larger). The 1989 is one of your favorites (very large glass of haut brion now) - well, enjoy the 1998. And I did.
