Almost everyone catched this as a Pessac Leognan. Lots of soil, gravel, scotched earth on the highly perfume bouquet along with tobacco, black cherry, peppery spice and green capsicum, so Claret! This has very good harmonious and complexity as well as purity on the palate. Expansive yet with the restraint of a classic claret. Very fresh with firm acid and fine tannin grip but all the element is well balance and integrated. A little bit edgy, but overall I really enjoy this compared to the recently highly extracted and opulent version. The finish is really juicy and sappy with bitter sweet cocoa. Real good wine.
