Vintage benchmark: 87/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A rainy spring and a difficult flowering reduced the crop; the dry October saved fine, light, easy-drinking wines.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Pauillac. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
"A good Pibran with chalky tannins and a mix of red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with good mid-palate intensity and a long, linear finish. Very well balanced, with natural, healthy concentration." James Suckling
