Grand Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

2009

Everything a Bordeaux should be, from a great vintage. Luckily, this bottle survived storage at a run-down local wine store. While the label was badly damaged, the cork was in perfect shape , and the wine was fresh and full of flavor. Intense cherry and earth, followed by licorice and tobacco. A great wine and high quality per value.

Old worldish not a fan $35 Flick

Stinky but focused!

Very good and very accessible already. Will age gracefully. As good as 2000 vintage.

Cherry, cassis, cedar and coffee notes. Underlying stoniness.

Exaggerated Cherry smell, bit surprised.

Un vin qui essaye d'atteindre un bon niveau mais pas vraiment y arriver! Profond insensé ;Boisé un peu cassis cuir ; charpenté. Il tient pas longtemps!
