Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled label. Level into neck
Tasting note: As always, a totally different style, different taste, from its Médoc peers. But like them, an unmistakable depth of colour, just as the 1945s had. A singed, tobacco and tea-leaves scent, harmonious - no harsh edges - confident, elegant and superb in its own slightly idiosyncratic way. An elegant, silky texture, as opposed to the more rustic, vigourous La Mission. Never very dry, it now has a pleasing sweetness, perfectly assimilated tannins and acidity, balanced and length. Beautiful. ***** MB.
