Clos Marsalette

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

A little blocky and rough initially. Needed an hour or two to come together. Then the nose started showing elegant black cherry and cassis fruit, smoky gravel tones, and a little dry underbrush. It softened in the mouth too. The tannins are quite present and clingy, but receding under the waves of fruit and loads of rich clay-like earthiness. Decent acids, especially for an ‘18. This is nice now with a 90+ minute decant, and likely will improve even more over the next 5 years or so. — 2 months ago

Château Olivier

Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Delectable has like seven different versions of this wine in its ID function, which dilutes people’s ratings and impressions. Bummer. Dense color with a little bricking at the rim. Love the classic Pessac nose: earthy, cured tobacco verging on something vaguely vegetal, dark plummy fruit. Deep on the palate. Coats the mouth with rich, earthy flavors and deep fruit. Lots of tannin still but the flavor density does a pretty good job overriding it. Will definitely age. I clearly opened it too early in its development. — 8 days ago
