Deep ruby to deep purple, black currant, cassis, coconut, tobacco, , black plum, and eucalyptus followed by subtle spices, earth, and leather, tart and crunchy on the attack with red and blue fruit, earth, licorice, spice, teethy tannins, and plump acidity, finishes with more crunchy red fruit, earth, bitter chocolate, black tea, and cranberry notes
Note: felt a little tight, if the acidity mellows (and I like acidity) this might warrant a higher score, at the current price for this '18, worth seeking out

Absolutely outstanding Bordeaux blend from Pessac Leognan. Deep cherry red with hues of purple in the glass. Intense aromas of fresh red and dark fruits with hints of leather, tobacco and intriguing earthiness. On the palate, a lovely explosion of the fruit flavors noted above. Extremely well-balanced acidity. Finish is long and luscious. A very special wine produced by Bernard Magrez and his team!! Well done.

Very tannic on day 1, somewhat flat on day 2.

I was expecting much more from this bottle. Not very expressive for the price point, maybe drank too early?
