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.
