Nice wine from the start. Soft aged flavors of earth, tobacco with nice developed fruit. Drank well for a couple hours but then faded a bit. It was good right out of bottle and I did decant. Next time I will leave in the bottle. Have a case left and hope it holds for a while

55F since acquiring on release - youthful red black - smoke and graphite and soy - savory AF - tannins both silky velvet and powdery fine - nice wine particularly for charred meats like this lamb

Lovely ash, tobacco, cedar and new leather nose. Bit light in the mouth but with lovely gravel and mineral finish. Come across that it’s a touch green but the oak has morphed into a lovely nose. A clear notch down from the 2000 rendition and couple of notches from the excellent 1998. Really enjoyable though. Drink now, it didn’t need air and there isn’t much depth of fruit. 93pts

Fantastic wine despite it was a little bit too chilled. NB: I love Pessac-Leognan...

Purchased recently as a one off. Very nice. Fully mature and ready to go after a one hour decant.
