Surprisingly deep and still nearly purple colt; complex aromas remind me of cigar box and black berry fruits; still young and buoyant on the palate with vibrant fruit and fully integrated tannins. Delicious!

Charcoal, green pepper, cedar shavings, pepper spice, and red currents. Textbook aromas, and flavors. More tart than one might expect from this vintage.

Not great but solid. Pencil lead, mushrooms, earth, with a nice dark fruit streak behind it all.

Modern, flashy this wine is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. In the past I found this wine to oaky, but I am pleased to see that it is integrating very well, and the freshness of the vintage is providing real lift to this showy, new wave Bordeaux. I didn’t think it would last when it was young, and I am so happy to be wrong. The high quality, mineral laden acidity of the long finish makes for a very balanced wine and one that I look forward to having again.

Pair of 00’s tonight. This was tighter than the Conterno & like most 00 Bordeaux needs another 5-10 years. This was rich & full bodied that had black & red fruits, plum, graphite, expresso, earth & tobacco.

With a 3 hour decant the wine is lovely both aromatically and on the mouth. Well balanced with a Pessac signature of lead pencil, black fruit, and a medium finish the wine went well with the NY strip steak.
