Pessac, Bordeaux, languidly revealing crushed black cherries, ripe black plums and wild blueberries with sparks of cinnamon stick, cloves, nutmeg, espresso, unsmoked cigars, tapenade, crushed rocks and lavender... finishing very long and with plenty of attitude.
Critics have rated this as the best available among Pessac-Leognan wines: the 1947 vintage was given a score of 96 by The Wine Advocate.
