Grand Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Ripe with lush fruit but underlying minerality steers it back to Bdx. The longer it sits in the glass the more French it gets. Nice to taste the Rouge for a change. #blindtasting #carbonnieux #bordeaux

UGC tasting

Blackberries, black cherries, strawberries, very dry.

Muted fruit. Big minerals.

I had the impression that it was slightly flawed, but could not put my finger on it. Other bottles of this vintage I had were good though

Great evolution since my first bottle 1,5 years ago. Tannins are well integrated, I wonder if this will get even better in time

2015 with bone in ribeye

Adorable wine. Still some evolution ahead but definitely ready to drink. Nice cedar nose and soft tannins in the taste.

Very nice young Bordeaux, powerful nose with dark fruit, Wood, metal and almost blue cheese funk. Dark red in colour with a strong palate; a little disjointed to start with but it develops nicely after a couple of hours and has nice fruit with liquorice and oak. Will definitely smooth out and the price point means some low risk experimentation.

Solid value for a Bourdeaux. Paired well with Costco trim tip.
