I a very good place right now. On the plateau in my opinion. Pushes all the classic Bdx buttons and in a fairly balanced way. Some may find the initial barnyard notes too much, but don't worry - they wear off within 10-15 minutes.

This is still youthful, but much more open than a similar bottle tasted 2 months ago. Charming right out of the bottle and with the Calon Segur trademark : balance. It is still primary and classic, so it has a long life ahead of it. Will be a challenge to wait with the few remaining bottles.

What an achievement by Jean-Jacques and his team. This is already an absolute beaty that will develop for many years to come. If you can refrain from drinking it now that is. All the Classic notes you expect from a great Pessac White so quite expressive - but the balance is what nakes it stand out. Kudos.
