ChâteauOlivier,grandcruclasséPessac-Léognan2023EnPrimeur–Caseof6

This is a magnificent medieval château complete with restored drawbridge over a wide moat. You can imagine the knights of the tourney charging up the tilt ground in front, maybe to secure a barrel of this excellent red Pessac. Enough of the whimsy, Olivier has made a sweetly fruited and vibrant wine in 2023 with lashings of red plum and raspberry, a fine backbone of tannin, a joyfully juicy centre and the cutting edge of a clean finish. Definitely worth fighting for some. 5-15 years.
