Cool, deep, austere and beautiful – with a very natural, elegant plunge-pool purity. Sesame seeds, very dark pure and crystalline berry fruit with damsons and sloes too, cassis and concentrated raspberry coulis; a suggestion of walnut oil too – rare in this vintage. There is a hint of the cedar to come, but this is much more about the fresh pulpy fruit for now. Violets, preserved violets and the parfumier’s essence of violet; hyacinth and peony too. Wild, herbal and slight gamey elements appear with greater aeration. This is texturally sublime on the entry with a lovely core of black cherry and damson fruit, ultra-refined tannins and great presence, compact density and purity. This is a wine with great concentration, depth and delineation – a combination that is very rare and very difficult to achieve in this vintage. An exceptional wine, with something of the calm tranquillity and refined grace and elegance of Pichon Comtesse de Lalande in recent vintages. One of the stars of the appellation and, indeed of the entire Médoc.In Bond€225.00 -
