  One of the best old Pessac Blancs I have had. Petroleum, brioche, wooden notes. Excellent!

  375ml: Rich and honeyed, with oxidative notes that became augmented with more time in the glass. Maybe in a different setting I would have been down to drink this, but tonight I wasn’t feeling it. More interesting than delicious, for me.

  Wow, great bottle of this showing excellent freshness with a classic waxy texture but perfect acidic grip as well. Very developed flavors of subdued tropical fruits which lead to a lovely honeyed finish. Restores some faith in how White Bordeaux can age.

  Lovely bottle, a pointe. Fresh yet with developed notes of coconut and wax on top of fresh apple and pear fruit. Lovely acids, long, delightful. A-

  Darker color than another recent bottle, and some light nutty oxidative notes, but good acids and freshness. Pears and pit fruits with a little almond and coconut. B+
