Château Brown Red Pessac-Léognan
TASTING
A beautiful intense color with a nice shine characterizes the color of the 2014. The first nose is discreet with subtle smoky notes, typical of Cabernet Sauvignon on bass.
After stirring, notes of morello cherries and blackcurrant appear. On the palate, the attack is supple and seductive. The mid-palate is full and the tannins are present without being too catchy.
Very nice length in the mouth, this 2014 is powerful and rich. The aging potential is promising, more or less 15 years. To be enjoyed after decanting with grilled red meat.
