Tasting
A very elegant, refined wine with very typical Pessac Léognan characteristics. A garnet-red colour. A nose combining vanilla, fruit and roasting. The attack is straightforward, and the palate is not to be outdone: supported by velvety tannins, nuances of red and roasted fruit, before a lovely, long finish.
