CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
Served blind at the Southwold 2009 tasting. The de Fieuzal ‘09 has a very perfumed bouquet that is showing quite a bit of creamy new oak at the moment, but it is in synch with the layers of ripe black fruit lying underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, crisp acidity and a luscious, svelte finish of tart red cherries, raspberry jam and just a touch of balsamic. This is a delicious Pessac-Leognan. Tasted January 2013.

Tasted blind. Sharply etched fruit. Uncomfortable combination of high acidity and concentrated fruit. But some people will like the intensity.
