It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a youngster from Pessac Léognan in Bordeaux.
A beautiful color of dark ruby with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Pronounced nose of blueberries, black currants, plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, leather, earth, forest floor, dark chocolates, light bell pepper, barnyard, bitter vegetables, river rocks and black pepper.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, currants, blueberries, wood, light vanilla, earth, pencil lead, wet leaves, forest floor, smoke, green vegetables, herbs, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with medium minus tannins and tangy raspberries.
This left bank Bordeaux is already drinking very nicely now, although still young. Showing nice balance and elegance with nice texture. The nose is really special, and I kept on smelling on it for a long time.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly. Still very earthy with lots of vegetable notes. The tangy ending makes it interesting.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
Good now and will be better in the next 15 years.
A good price/ value for a not so good vintage, as it is less than half the price of the 2010 vintage.
Wine Advocate 90 points.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Love this! Fresh squeezed lime, light grapefruit notes. A little peach and white pepper. This is a very well integrated wine. — 9 years ago
Deep honeyed with complex nutty flavor. Balanced with plenty of life left. The complexity ratio is SB and Semillion is in full flower. One of Woltners best even at 37 years of age. — 10 years ago

Opening with an interesting and unique orange zest character, then moving to tilled soil. Overall a fresh and mildly spiced nose. On the palate it shows the character but it’s quite harsh to undesired at the moment. — 6 months ago
2022 vintage. The website didn't update for the 2022 vintage yet, but according to Jeff Leve (the Wine Cellar Insider often has more recent info than the official websites), it is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon. In any case, it is a beauty. Pineapple and white peach go hand in hand with floral and mineral aromas. It has a very round mouthfeel, but very fresh at the same time. Probably the finest value in Pessac-Léognan white Cru Classés these days. — 9 months ago

Archetypal Bordeaux - old world in style, but where the savory characteristics are well-integrated with common Bordeaux fruit notes. Well-structured and precise, with notes of blackberry, cassis, tobacco, cedar, and vanilla with a long, somewhat chalky finish. — 6 years ago

A bit flex on the mid palate but lingering pleasant finish — 6 months ago
Aspect Visuel: Robe rubis profond aux reflets grenat, légèrement évoluée sur le bord du disque. Belle brillance et intensité colorante. Nez: Premier nez expressif révélant des arômes de fruits noirs mûrs (cassis, mûre), enrichis de notes épicées (poivre noir, clou de girofle) et d'une touche boisée élégante (vanille, cèdre). À l'aération, des nuances de sous-bois, de cuir et de tabac émergent, témoignant d'une évolution harmonieuse. Bouche: L'attaque est souple et équilibrée, offrant une belle fraîcheur. La structure tannique est présente mais bien fondue, avec des tanins mûrs et soyeux. Le milieu de bouche révèle une matière fruitée concentrée (fruits noirs, prune) soutenue par des notes épicées et une légère touche de torréfaction. La finale est persistante avec une agréable fraîcheur et des notes de réglisse et de cacao. — 8 months ago
Second label (Domaine de Chevalier) Graves Red Blend. (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petite Verdot). Deep purple color. Dark berry aromas and flavors. Hints of cedar, licorice, minerals and baking spices. Round and silky. Long finish. Well structured. Great value. — 4 years ago

Marvelous #structure #aromas of #blackberries and #cassis #charred oak. The berry bush in the most subtle and elegant way. Pleasantly surprised by this wine. I believe it has great aging potential. Great now and will be smooth and more complex in the future. — 10 years ago
