Smooth silky blackcherry/blueberry, aromatic herbs,,some funk that took its time to blow off but added some complexity, sweet mid palate and carried thru smooth but every present tannins...just a well balanced wine and paired great with stripsteaks at home...

This Pessac-Léognan is my favourite next to Pape Clement & not being able to afford Haut-Brion 😁 Still not cheap @ £115-£130 now, but it’s worth it as a treat 👍 It just keeps getting better & better but is already divine 😍
🏵 96 points w/ more potential
🍇 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc & 1% Petit Verdot
🍷 Opaque ruby
👃 Cracked minerals & smashed pencil lead through spiced black berry/currant, damson & blueberry in soft char-smoked oak w/ mocha grounds, gravel, liquorice lashings & a minty hinty
👄 Med+ rich dark plummy silky smooth body of gloopy blackcurrant & dark plum in chewy liquorice & creamy mocha goo w/ a mineral punch
🎯 Long dark gooey fruity plummy sticky liquorice linger w/ mocha & mineral ka-pow

Iron, iron, just hardcore minerality & dried blackcurrants around that core. Still has room to open up. Very good. 375ml, what a pleasure. 2nd tasting, this time impressed more. Hmmmm.
