Pessac- Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Clean, expressive nose of black berries, white pepper, raspberries, cassis. Delicious, medium bodied, silky tannins, length, acidity, amazing value.

Worth all of the 20 dollars I gave the Garagiste

Worth slightly more than the 20 dollars I paid the Garagiste. There’s plenty of fruit but it’s balanced out well by chalky earth and herbal notes.

Easy dinner wine. Collard greens and mushroom with spaghetti aglio e olio

Dark plum, moving toward white at rim, hazy but not sediment. Medium+ viscosity. Nose sees crushed, ripe strawberries and raspberries, vanilla. Palette sees medium acid, old, caramel flavors, medium, rounded tannins. Medium finish of medium complexity. After opening up, although I'm not a big Bordeaux fan, I enjoyed this wine. Enough fruit and complexity to keep it interesting, some age, and paired well with bourbon ribs.

One of my favorite red Boudreauxs. Bright red, freshly crushed fruit on the nose. Tart red cherries, medium acid, rounded tannins, medium+ finish. My previous notes on this wine/vintage are better and still accurate anyway- read those if you want more detail but this is a good one! 🍷😬💵

Chalky

Green vegetables and red berries.

Aromas of mushrooms and olives, some notes of cocoa and leather hints of caraway. Quite bright and light on the palette with cranberries. Long tannic and dry finish.

Très bon vin rouge qui arrive à allier légèreté et présence du chene en bouche.
