...gorgeous, incredibly satisfying Pessac...lots of red, blue, and black fruits as well as ample spice, leafy tobacco, truffle, and smoked earth, and it develops a beautiful sense of complexity and nuance with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the vibrant, elegant style of the vintage, has ripe tannins, perfect overall balance, and a great finish.
...powerful, dark wine marked by strong Cabernets that lend tons of aromatic presence and sheer density...virile, explosive Pessac-Léognan packs quite the punch. Blackberry, gravel, licorice and grilled herbs are some of the notes that build in this deep, expansive wine. Superb.
...offers lovely ripe lemon and spice flavors...acidity and mineral texture..
...bursts with aromas of red berries, vine smoke, orange rind and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and complete palate built around powdery tannins and vibrant fruit flavors...impressively vibrant, harmonious wine...
Quite ripe, with a mix of loganberry, mulberry and plum compote flavors that move through slowly, framed with alder, savory and red tea accents. Everything melds steadily through the finish, picking up red tea and bay leaf hints along the way.
Aromas of black cherries and currants with cloves and licorice, some dark chocolate and wet earth. Medium-bodied with an array of ripe, juicy tannins and a chalky texture. Vivid and succulent with dark fruits and a polished finish. Hints of nut shell and iodine at the end.
Rich and spicy on the nose. Super-smooth. Sinewy finish. Nicely balanced... Lightly inky-textured but not too sweet and with about the right amount of acidity even if not all that much tannin apparent.
