NOSE: barnyard, yeast, blackberry, cassis, minerals. A little bit of BBQ. A little more blackberry comes out if you sniff deeply, but not much.

TASTE: nice medium-weight, earthy, blackberry, balanced wine. Pretty smooth. You can tell it’s young, but it’s still quite good, if a little simple. 91. More fruit comes out with more air.

Perhaps too young. But typical pessac leognan with pencil shavings. Decent wine!

Good graves red, could do with a couple of years more in bottle I think.
