Tasting Notes

A sensational wine from this Pessac-Leognan estate, the 2009 possesses notes of charcoal, graphite, roasted herbs, truffles, spice box, and luxurious quantities of black currant and black cherry fruit. Full-bodied, impressively endowed. and well under the radar for most consumers, this outstanding wine is a sleeper of the vintage and well worth buying. It should drink well for 15 or more years.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson with a mature rim. Really rather opulent and seductive on the nose with the freshness of Graves. Really fine ripe fruit in great balance. Long, reverberant and difficult to spit. Really excellent.
Drink 2018-2037
