Pessac Leognan
"Probably the finest Carbonnieux I have tasted in over three decades, this deep ruby/purple-colored offering reveals complex aromas of black cherries, currants, tobacco, soy, and earth. Medium-bodied, with gorgeous purity, more glycerin and depth than usual, and subtle toasty oak in the background, this is a beautiful example of refinement and breeding. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018." - Rated 89, Robert Parker
"A fresh and fruity wine, with berry and vanilla character. Medium body, light finish. For early enjoyment. Best after 2004. 20,000 cases made. -JS" - Rated 85, Wine Spectator
