Pessac-Leognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Lovely #Bordeaux #grandcruclassé #pessacleognan blackberries and blue flowers

Out of mag, 2010. tasty

Have had the 2009 vintage twice, in 2024 at a tasting and in early 2025.  The first was the best of the tasting, and the second was a fine compliment to spring leg of lamb.  dark fruit and smooth tannins. $68 when purchased in 2024. 

Licorice, berries, depth- so wonderful & yet sometimes overlooked.

ベリー系と黒系、スパイス系、樽香が入り混じったとても重たい芳醇な香りです。しっかりしたタンニン、特に渋みそして控えめな酸味が長い余韻とともに味わえます。アルコールは１３度と普通ですが、とても濃く重たいワインです。

2005

Magnum - not as good as the other wines from 2009 but still a great bottle!

Ready to enjoy...true terroir, gritty with cassis, flavor- not tannic- lovely Bordeaux

Deep Ruby.
Coffee, eucalyptus, earthy, peppery, alcohol and a little VA on the nose.
Fairly astringent with lots of eucalyptus and dusty on the palate. Not bad but not worth the money, I don't think. Alright with food.

2009 vintage. Difficult to rate. Too young? Nice spices in the nose. Leather and tobacco. Long Finnish!
