Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Refreshing, perfect oyster wine

Not much to the nose. Golden color with strong density. Almond and nutty characteristics reminiscent of Orvieto. Smooth texture, almost flat. Palate shows long sinking structure with chalky minerality and some tropical notes. Dry throughout. Expected more. I would not have thought this was Bordeaux. Opened 7/17/15

From France

Earth, black fruit, burnt chocolate, mint. M tannin, M acid, M alcohol, M- body.

Not in a good place right now. Very muddled, disjointed. Needs time

Dark fruits and slightly dry. Pairs well with cheese and creamy pastas. Much better when decanted, as it opens up a lot.

2010. Opened 8/30/17.

delicious, full bodied Bordeaux. dark cherries, blackberry, oak, vanilla. another great value from K&L

Also kind of mineral but could be good with oysters

Fine and straightforward at first, better after 30 min, but then a little acidic after that - good accompaniment to an American Kobe cross rib- 2008 vintage
