Beef broth, smoked brisket, candied plum and licorice. This has intense aromatics, alluding to Earl gray tea, church incense and camphor. Getting better and better by the minute!

Interesting nose, Cornbread and Jalapeño which points to underripe fruit, but throughly enjoyable

#bordeauxwines #pessacleognan #grandcruclassé #grandcruclasse new oak aromas, reminded me of Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero more than Cabernet Sauvignon, clean palate, slightly grippy tannins, but I was tasting #enprimeur

Probably an off bottle, this shed most of its nail polish and became drinkable on day 3.

The tannins and alcohol are still strong and overwhelm the delicate fruit which is a little on the dry side. Med + complexity and intensity with some nice secondary notes. #pessacleognan #bordeaux #lalouviere
