2015 vintage. Plenty of youth but starting to batten down the aging hatches. Smoke, charcuterie board and lavender in the nose. Bigger than most Pessac-Leognan reds with a medium/medium-heavy body. Also chunkier than most Pessac-Leognan reds with big plum and charcoal on a decent finish. Thinking it'll top out in a decade but wouldn't be surprised if this were opened in...say...2040...and you wished you had more. An affordable cellar candidate and drinking solidly now,
