Nice, understated, classic Bordeaux — 5 months ago
Dark rust, translucent, mature on the nose (leather and cherries) and palate (cherries, red currants and tobacco) from this fine Pessac-Leognan Bordeaux blend — a year ago
Popped and poured, the 2020 pours a deep ruby with near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with dark fruits with brambles and cassis, tobacco, just a touch of green bell pepper, earth, and baking spice. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A balanced and charming example from Pessac-Leognan that’s giving pleasures in its youth. An estate on the rise. Drink now through 2035+. — 2 years ago
