(12/7/2017) "Always delivering one of the bigger takes on a vintage in Pessac Leognan, this has an unmistakable tarry punch of oak on the nose, and a whirl of black-fruited spice from the Malbec. It's extremely well made, and although not as balanced as some, you always feel that you are in good hands with Bouscaut - it has something to say and it's going to insist upon it. Drinking Window 2023 - 2035."
