07 Petrus, 10 and 09 Pichon Baron, 10 Hosanna and more

2010 Château Providence:

Bright ruby. Floral, berries, elegant nose, transparent and layered. Lovely acidity, light feeted but also intense, raspberry freshness in the finish, long and elegant. 92

2010 Hosanna:

Deep ruby. Floral, Scented nose over blueberries. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, rounded and lovely texture, fuller body without being full, needs air to open. 93

2010 Château Pichon Longueville Baron:

Deep ruby. Vanilla and cassis, very up front on the nose, but things are happening behind. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, quite grippy texture now, needs years and years of cellaring. Forget for fifteen years. Lovely balance, long. 94 for now. 

2009 Château Pichon Longueville Baron:

Deep ruby. Intense nose of cassis, blueberries, plums and scented notes. Medium acidity, ripe tannins, a slightly sweet style, feels riper now than during primeurs, reminds me of the young 03 but more elegant, long finish. 93

2007 Château Petrus:

Ruby. Again this almost Burgundian elegance, blueberries, floral and scented nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant and light texture, not far from 07 La Tâche not long ago, but more intense flavours, very long. More open like last bottle. 95

2006 Château Suduiraut:

Pale golden. Elegant peach, pineapples and apricots nose. Very fresh and pure. Fresh acidity, lovely texture, almost creamy, fresh and long. 92

2003 Château Suduiraut:

Golden. Orange marmalade, apricots, touch of bees wax, slightly caramelly. Good acidity, honey, rich and exotic, very long. 93+
