Wonderful finesse and length to this wine. Loads of plum and berry, with hints of raspberry. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and tannins. Long finish. One of the few Pessacs better in 2000 than 1998.
...Subtle hints of earth and smoke are also present in this medium-bodied, stylish, well-balanced, pure wine that emphasizes restraint and graciousness over power and blockbuster intensity...
...very nicely balanced and judged.
