Domaine Du Pegau - Cuvee Laurence 2001 Truly gorgeous nose of ripe black fruits, playing second violin to prunes-in-a-good-way, asphalt, leather, barnyard and spice. Full bodied with a very fine texture and an initial hit of delicious ripe dark fruit which goes on to fill the mouth. Elegant - but with tremendous underlying power. Tannins are evident - but perfectly in proportion with the other components and carry the flavours in a long finish. Even at this point in its development - a great pleasure to drink and would say more approachable than the 1998 ....Is it more approachable than the 01 Reservee? I might have to sacrifice one in the name of research....etc etc.96pts.
