Just popped and decanted 20 minutes ago, but it’s already starting to open up. Nose is giving up cigar box, dark gravelly scent, some toasty oak, and the cassis and mulberry fruit is starting to peek through. Quite savory in the mouth with that clingy tobacco-y component Pessac is known for. The astringency apparent on first opening is subsiding. Not a deeply fruity wine, but the relatively lean flavors are fairly intense and quite nice. — a month ago

Medium ruby with a bright ruby rim . Nice slightly spicy blackberry , blueberry , cassis touches with an earthy, grafite tinge . On the palate shows good balance , and quite high refreshing acidity , more red fruits , with cranberry and red currant complementing the blackberry, grafite and scorched earth notes . Quite saline on the palate with ripe tannins . Ok length not complex or intense but well judged. This is still quite young , enjoyable now though will hold perhaps a further 5-8 years . All considered this is an enjoyable and commendable 3rd wine. — a month ago
