Description

Two bottles of this excellent Pessac-Leognan, with slightly damp affected labels.

Here are the latest three Cellartracker notes:


5/12/2015 - cephomer Likes this wine: 93 Points

Westchester Wine School: Pessac Leognan Tasting (White Plains, NY): Drank blind at WWS Pessac tasting vs a 2007 SHL. It was readily apparent which wine was which, though that's not to say I didn't like the younger wine: I did very much; I just liked this one more. No bricking that I could tell, a wonderful deep ruby core showing this bottle was aging quite well. Lots of tobacco, tar and earth on the nose. Similarly, I found the same elements on the palate, along with still very evident levels of black fruit, though with a very nice subtlety. Clearly, this wine had nowhere near the same fruit level as did the 2007, nor was it as sweet or juicy. This wine was very nicely balanced finely showing its earthiness, mushrooms and leather, along with very nice spiciness. This wine has already, and continues to develop wonderfully, still with a decent drinking window ahead. The WOTN by far.

Old world to the 9's....mushroom's, earth, leather, plum...nicely integrated. Drinking really well.

Delicious cassis, black fruit, pencil lead, mineral and earth flavors, elegant and smooth.
