Sotheby's Pessac-Leognan 2017 Review

It’s young, and a bit dusty from tannins that still need some time to chill, but the fruit core is developing and going in a nice earthy, savory direction. Soon, as the wine calms down and folds into itself, the dry edges will give way to soft blackberry and currant aromas with a soft palate. So, obvs this is an age worthy wine, and at this price you can grab a few of them and watch this bottle develop over time. Yay for affordable awesome!
