The 3rd and final bottle of the 11’ vintage (a underestimated vintage IMO), and it keeps getting better. The slight green note from the previous 2 bottles is no longer present. At a great place now. While it does not have the usual richness and power, it’s impeccably balanced, fresh, seamless, and graceful, which is preferable to me.
And I can’t thinking of a better bottle to pair with Pekin duck.
Almost perfect!

Why not a triple 100’scored wine when you can have lunch with your most precious loved ones in the back yard. Duck fat fried potatoes and Gruyère melted cheese on steak supported this excellent Bordeaux. Vigorous but polished tannins combined with punchy acidity carried the dark elegant fruit to a lingering finish that led you right to the next sip. — 3 years ago

Wow so good! Natural sparkling rosé with lotttsss of sediment. Juicy orange character makes this very drinkable. I love how inventive Portuguese wines are lately. — 3 years ago
Definitely on the sweeter side. Could be too sweet depending on the person. Would by again from Duck Walk — 4 years ago
Strong minerality, mild fruitiness — 5 years ago

The most showy bottle I’ve had of this wine, 95 Mouton is in a terrific place, and an absolute classic, with Paulliac power and concentration, fine grained tannins and hugely persistent finish. Fantastic with the legendary EMP duck! — 2 months ago
