Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé
Niveaux excellents, 5 très belles étiquettes, 4 légèrement abimées notamment 1 légèrement éraflée et 1 légèrement déchirée, 3 décolorées et légèrement marquées notamment 1 légèrement éraflée, offert en caisse bois d’origine
Excellent levels, 5 labels with good appearance, 4 slightly soiled including 1 slightly nicked and 1 slightly torn, 3 faded and slightly marked, including 1 slightly nicked
At a 2012 dinner where its great youthful bloom was still much in evidence, full of intense black fruit and exciting variations on the themes of tapenade and peat. But this is all about ripe berries and luscious texture, a wine both for now and for decades into the future. Magnums are even more concentrated, packing a real punch. In 2013, in Cambridge for the 350th anniversary of Pepys naming Haut Brion in his diary, it had huge, glorious impact and in Hong Kong in 2013, almost a smell of the sea, with that sweet violetty taste, exuding silkiness. Eternal wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
