Wine:

The 2002 Red Pessac-Léognan Château Haut-Bergey is wonderful. Its color is still shimmering, barely tiled, and still looks young after two decades of evolution. The nose is of great elegance, fine and very pure, with a touch of black truffle, noble perfumes. Silky, mature, this almost twenty year old Graves has retained all its charm and fine tannins. It will be a total pleasure at the table with a leg of lamb or a rack of veal lacquered with honey and sage. Rated 96/100 by our Selection Committee.
