Château Couhins-Lurton (Pessac-Léognan)
Ready to go, medium bodied, elegant, finesse styled, Pessac Leognan, with a tobacco, cherry and earthy character, soft textures and a good feeling of freshness in the earthy, light, spicy, red berry finish. This is in a nice style, and if it had a bit more density, it would be even better. 2,507 Views Tasted Oct 20, 2016 |
