Château Olivier 2014

2014 Pessac-Leognan Cru Classé from Bordeaux

A year-long working in the vineyard gave beautiful, colourful and homogeneous grapes. The perfection of the Petit Verdot grapes embodies the 2014 Chateau Olivier style. This grape-variety was sparingly introduced a few years ago, and is exceptional this year. This Pessac-Leognan Cru Classé is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. It gives off charming and opulent thick fleshy black fruit notes and a character with good ripeness released on freshness. The attack is nervous, the mid-palate is smooth and the fine-grained tannins are well integrated. The retro-olfaction is peppery and the finish is persistent. This is pleasant Pessac-Léognan.
