Tasted at the Chateau Young and closed with great prospect for the future. Love this winery
Medium ruby appearance
On the nose the intensity is medium with young fresh floral and black fruit character (Blackcurrants, blue berries, black berries and black plums), herbal notes, leather, some smoke, cedar and vanilla.
On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity and tannins (still tough and a little astringent (pleasant though), medium alcohol and medium + body. The intensity is medium + and the qulaity is very good with hte prospect to be outstanding. It really has the buildingblocks. Can drink now but will improve with aging.

4/3/2024 - jcbd9415 Does not like this wine: 91 Points
Just had it yesterday, funny because I generally agree with a couple of these reviews. It did feel pretty light/thin but I do think that's a character of Pessac. I also felt the bitterness on the after taste after being opened a couple hours, seemed out of balance which is strange for a wine of this caliber. I was really unimpressed. Langoa barton 2020 destroys this wine at half the cost. Pass unfortunately, I really really wanted to like this but just didn't. The poop manure on the nose didn't help either. :(

Clear dark red colour. Opens up after 1 hour of decanting. Red berries, graphite, wood and plums. Integrated tannins. Great balance. Medium length. Really nice wine.
