Solid Pessac. Cigar box, a little pleasant vegetal note, nice plummy fruit underneath. Soft and with a lot of brickish savoriness, this is probably a wine for pleasurable consumption over the next 5 years.

These are night 2 notes. Much better than my earlier bottles, which I drank too young. Nose showing a classic Pessac profile of green tobacco leaf, cigar box, loamy gravel, deep cassis and berry fruit. Soft, rich, and earthy in the mouth. Starting to drink very nicely. I should have laid off the other bottles!

This one is delicious! Would absolutely buy again. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot. Juicy and ripe plum. Oak. Leather finish. Balanced. Enjoyed with steak

After Decanting for 3 hours: cherry on the fore palate, long, smooth finish with easy to sip tannins. After dinner, sipping by the fire.

Lovely wrap to night. Expect this to shine even brighter on day two.

Stone fruit, stone fruit and a bit more stone fruit. A lasting bitter aftertaste stopped this scoring higher
