Sweet vanillin, dried red fruits, still quite fresh and clean, medium-bodied, resolved tannins, but the bright acidity really carries this into a long, lingering finish, my wife’s favorite Bordeaux, alas only a few more bottles left in the cellar!! — 6 months ago

Pipeau is an early foray into 2005 for me. Not a bad place to start. Very round structure. Full fruit with stewed plum, black cherry, slate, hint of mint. A little dry on the finish. Will mellow in the next few years. — 9 years ago

Opened the first night and not impressed, was closed but the following night it opened and morphed into a wonderful balanced wine with cocoa notes in the nose, full body and great finish. — 7 months ago

Beautiful, quintessential nose! Silky and balanced from start to finish. Not trying to be too bold but it doesn’t disappear either. Truly enjoyable Bordeaux and I would absolutely buy it again — 8 months ago

Chewy ripe tannins, sour cherry and dried cranberries, wet leather and graphite? — 10 years ago

1990 vintage. Last tasted slightly over 3 years ago (8.7). Solid fill and cork. Not decanted. Tasted after two hours. A curious, fecal nose that never dissipated but nose didn’t invade the flavors that were earthy and spicy. This was immeasurably improved over the last encounter. Based on this visit, could go another 2-3 years at this level. 11.21.25. — 9 months ago
