Great Pegau, consistent with my review in 2019. Great complex nose with notes of barnyard, iron and ripe black fruits. But based on this bottle I would finish drinking this vintage in the coming 5 years. Light orange-brick translucent colour. Smooth and silky on the palate, medium long finish.

Classic Bordeaux, classic Pauillac with ages to go. Incredibly thick, complex and powerful. Still in early stage of development (contrary to the 1990 Latour beside). Clearly a great year. Notes of dark fruits, ink, leather and tar on the palate. Mix of black berries, cherries, chocolate and iron jumping from the glass. Nicely rounded tannin on the finish. Very well crafted. 98 points for now and the perfect score in another 10 years?

A wine to reflect and ponder on. This bottle was in a later stage of life. Blind I guessed 70-s or 80-s, classic style Pauillac (iron). Nevertheless an incredibly complex and very attractive wine. Lingering on for minutes. Beside Latour GV 2000.
