Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux
Impressive aromas of ripe plums and minerals. Full-bodied, with a solid core of polished tannins and a long, long finish. The best La Louvière in years. Score range: 92-94 Wine Spectator
A complex, smoky, tobacco, earth, black currant, and cherry jam-scented nose is followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, voluptuous, fat, fleshy, low acid wine. It will no doubt firm up and age nicely. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016.
Rated 89-91 Robert Parker
