Pessac Leognan "The best effort in many a year (maybe ever) from this estate located near Bordeaux's airport, this property is on the rebound, as evidenced by recent vintages. Sweet tobacco, red as well as black currant and cherry, along with some earth/soil undertones emerge from this richly fruity, dark ruby/purple-colored wine. It is medium-bodied, elegant, and exceptionally pure. The wine is a candidate for near-term drinking ... over the next 7-8 years." - Rated 89, Robert Parker "Pretty aromas of crushed berries, with smoke and raspberries. Full-bodied, with soft and round tannins and a generously fruity aftertaste. Delicious. Best after 2006. 7,230 cases made. –JS" - Rated 89, Wine Spectator |
