Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Bordeaux Master Class - May 13, 2017

It’s aaight. Lot of extraction that gets the critics hyped. Over priced for what it delivers.

Should have decanted longer. Nice but can offer much more.

Great choice for New Year’s Day, this is really good. Stewed fruit, mushroom, blackcurrant and pepper on the nose. Rich, reddish purple in the glass, looks clean and elegant. Taste is fabulous after only a little air, black cherries, smoke, vanilla and some mineral infused chocolate. Tannins are medium and will allow plenty of further development but this is very enjoyable now. Highly recommended. Happy New year!

With beef brisket.

Outstanding.

Debbie bought, excellent

liquorice made an entry, followed by gooseberry all over the plate.

This is a review of the kosher version. Good but very closed Bordeaux. Taste and nose is very subtle.

Black cherry, toast/ash, great tannin and minerality. Winning balance, yay!
