November 5, 2017 - Vinetasters: Pégaü (1989-2007) (Skokie, IL): Served blind in a Pégaü lineup. A nose of Sharpie marker: high-toned and aldehydic. A bit of smokiness as well. The palate is less offensive, but that's perhaps where it ends. Seems a little foursquare in that this doesn't have much interesting to say. One of the higher concentration and extraction wines in the lineup, but fortunately this seems to have the structure to hold it up. A touch of alcoholic heat on the back end. My #9, group's #10.
