In a word, WOW. This is an example of why Bordeaux is the world’s most important wine region. Classic currant and plum notes, with cigar box, a stunning, meaty note, and a thick, yet light balance. Texturally, the wine features a strong (but becoming resolved) tannic structure that resolves in a supple manner, and adds to the meaty countenance of the wine. Certainly in early maturity, and a brilliant example of great wines ability to transform with cellaring. Robert Parker’s initial scoring estimate of 92-94 points certainly appears to be coming true with time. hurry.

This has a classic Pessac bouquet of scorched earth and red fruit with tar like notes. Some floral and mineral notes as well. A pleasure to drink even without a decant and I think this will easily last to the end of the decade. Solid 90 point wine.

Nice wet pine tree forest notes added to the well integrated dark fruit.

Served at a large family dinner. The bottle was delicious and did not last long.

PnP. Good entry-level Bdx that gained weight over the course of our meal. Give it a brief decant next time. Drink or hold.
