Château Branon
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
2009. Fresh from my COMA (can’t opine much anymore), I am greeted by the opulence of sauce Périgueux over smoked applewood bacon wrapped top sirloin. Four black truffles gave themselves to the dicing knives to achieve the feat. Purple Black and cloaked in sooty tar. Rings of pipe tobacco brooding. An olfactory, fungal, tor impudicus waving its spongey menace. Candied currants, bursting blackberry, dessicate plum, and dark earth beneath the litter of the fall. Braised offal. Coffee rye. Tart and black cherry punctuate the entry of swift and silken shadow overwhelming palate. One’s heart is black but this is blacker. Baked blackberry jus.

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Cigar box and dark fruit on the nose, which was impressive. Wine started out nice but faded pretty quick. Disappointing for the vintage and price point. Short finish. Not bad, but had higher expectations. Nothing really stood out at all beyond the nose.

Dec 5th, 2020This aerated wine had a very inviting and rich nose. The flavors were fruit and spiced with a long finish. Definitely a nice drinking wine now and seems like it could benefit from more years in bottle.
