Cru Classe de Graves Pessac - Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

I don’t drink much Bordeaux but this 2001 reminded me what all the fuss is about. Fruit was dialed back and tertiary flavors of old books and tobacco emerged. Enough acidity that you really wanted the next careful sip. At Wally’s wine bar in Beverly Hills. Where people with way too much money and little clue shop. But treasures await for those who aren’t chasing a label.

Tobacco, spices and good acidity. Not overly ripe.

Very good. Maybe to young. Had some liquerish flavor at the end. But was drinking this next to a margaux.

Tannins softer but still has great length and incredible complexity. Gets better with each sip.

Beautiful round fruits, good acidity, toasty bread and slight earthiness and mushrooms developing. Already very interesting but a ton of life left.

Needs 45 minutes then incredible

V good but expectations were high. Needs a long decant.

A magnificant 2000

Older post I forgot. Still want more of this...
