Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

2005 vintage. 85% Sauvignon and 15% Sémillon. White magic. One of the best white Bordeaux, and this bottle surely delivers at 16 years old. Amazingly young. A masterclass in subtlety and balance. Extraordinary depth in a classy understated style. Tremendous length. A true meditation wine.

Absolutely fantastic wine. Barely showing any signs of age but the complex and dynamite aromas sing. This is drinking well but easily has another 15-20 years or more.

Plush with abundant fruit and cushion. A lot of enjoyment now but not for the long haul.

Always one of my favorite producers and especially in whites.

Cuz it's Friday night (knight?)

Always lovely. Terrific with vegetable tofu fried rice last night.

Medium lemon yellow . Quite young appearance still quite a bit of oak on the nose , then lemon rind , touch of honey , wax , slightly herbal touch. Intense on the palate with lemon rind , wax and honied notes . Quite rich palate , but with good balancing acidity and grip, balanced alcohol . Medium length , slightly toasty finish . Still young , drinkable now and over the 10 years.

From larchmont. Decent drink

The “assemblage” Sauvignon and sémillon 85/15 is just perfect. Lemon, grapefruit, and exotic fruits are mixed in an amazing and smooth way. Absolutely fabulous, the best white Pessac Léognan, I have ever drink.., just unbelievable. I need to buy more of this 2005! That was my last bottle. Parker: 95

I’ve never had a white this old taste so young. Usually you get that amber color and butterscotch - not this wine. Stone fruit with great balance and acidity. Little bit of almond on the finish. Awesome
