Château Couhins 2011 – Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé de Graves

The nose is fresh, mineral and it offers a little horizontal side. There are notes of lemon, zest and small fresh fruits associated with a touch of fresh kumquat, fine hints of passion fruit, pineapple as well as a discreet hint of saline, almond and a very discreet hint of verbena (in the background). The palate is balanced and offers a nice juicy / ripe / pulpy fruit, fat, gourmandize as well as a tangy frame. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of bright green apple, juicy vine peach and slight hint of lemon associated with touches of tangy / ripe small yellow fruits as well as fine hints of quenette, carambola, subtle hints of iodine as well as a subtle hint of almond and nutmeg.
