France

Pessac-Léognan

Medium

Cork

Strongly perfumed nose, with some herbal aromatics, some purple floral scents and dark forest fruits too with savoury notes of dark chocolate, espresso and tobacco. Smooth and succulent, there’s an immediate grip to the tannins - intense but with a juiciness so there’s no austerity or dryness, more fruit fleshiness in terms of texture. Lovely purity and focus, clean and clear plum, blackcurrant and black cherry. Great lift on the finish too, keeps the freshness and length all the way. Clearly structured but lifted and juicy, very classic with salty wet stone and graphite touches. Extremely easy to drink, this has a real drinkability factor. Well made, lovely finesse and elegance to it. Great stuff. 12% press wine. 3.4pH. A yield of 40hl/ha. Ageing 13-15 months, 30% new oak.
