2009 vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon (59%), Merlot ( 38 %) and Petit Verdot (3%). The Belgian Bonnie family purchased this cru classé in 1997 and invested heavily to improve the quality. This 2009 is an outstanding effort, with cassis, blackberries, spices and cigar box fighting for your attention. In the mouth it is dense, with layers of very ripe ( but not jammy) black fruits, powerful,yet smooth tannins, and a very long finish with typical Pessac-Léognan spiciness. Abv. 14%. Highly seductive now, but no hurry to drink this.

Beautiful dark fruit, complimented by chocolate and tobacco, lively with resolved tannins, fantastic!

Pessac red is consumed by the locals but doesn’t get much attention over the pond. I love it’s accessibility and lack of pretension. This is one of my favourites.
