Château Brown
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
2015 vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (43%), and Petit Verdot(2%). First nose is truffle galore, I would have taken this for a Pomerol or Saint-Emilion. After 30 minutes, cassis, cherries and spices kick in. Medium-bodied, still very fresh,with bright fruit, spices, ripe tannin and a fresh minty/spicy finish. This is definitely on a par with some Crus Classés. Abv. 14%.

Vintage 2005 | Pesach Leognan is known to ripen well, and to be honest: this wine was better each time I tasted it. Dark colour, 3/4 transparant. Beautiful expressive smell, multi layered with laurel, cedar, minerals, pipe tobacco, Forrest fruits. Delicate taste with great balance, very vivid. Glorious. Paired with a deer steak.

Subtle red fruit aromas (not very showy). Lots of bramble-y red and black berry, w some char elements on the palate

Dec 26th, 2018Vintage 2005 / a classic #bordeaux. brown rim. a very rich smell, lovely to get new impressions because it is multi-layered. laurel. cedar. black fruit. hint of mocca, chocolate. brushwood. mushrooms. good grip in taste, well balanced. it night be á point, but i think this wine has enough potential for five years to come. #pessacleognan paired it with a deer pie and stewed pears

Ripe, dark plums, tar. A classic Bordeaux that punches above its weight in terms of cost. Art by Paul Richard, a leading Brooklyn based street artist and portraitist.

Smooth and already quite drinkable after a few hours of decanting.
