Still young wine, yet showing, certainly, som of the virtues of the vintage. Soft, round, creamy, a good bit of spice, chocolate and some tobacco. Young but approachable. 93+

Still about 3-5 years before prime time, though there is an accessibility that displays pure and clean black and red cherry, black currant, cedar, dried roses, and hints of tobacco leaf. It rides a little high, with the grippy acid creating a snug and somewhat constrained execution of flavor, but it’s a complete wine with everything all in the right places. Not a ton of personality necessarily, which I hope will peek out more with a bit more horizontal time.
Not a mistake to open now, but I sense there is more complexity and depth to come after 2027.

Académie des Cinquante Tasting and Dinner with the Académie du Vin de Bordeaux (Restaurant Entrepot, Amsterdam, NL): Walkaround tasting, brief note. Fresh and elegant, silky texture, flowers and spices, hint of earth, perfect weight, long and flowing.

Popped and poured, this is quite approachable, yet will age extensively. Blackberries, pipe tobacco, red currants and fresh cut lilies, this bellies up well to all things Pessac. There’s a little gravel as well. Medium to full in body, with fine tannins. A long and almost luscious finish. Drink now -.
