Château De Lamarque – 2012 – Haut Médoc

Red wine with a medium intense ruby-red colour. Fresh nose there, displaying rather red fruity notes, herbs, slight hint of leather and quite discreet oak. Palate is still youthful; still a bit tight with pronounced tannin and quite high acidity. Fruitiness is more, once again, on the red fruity side; with hints of red currant, some herbal spiciness, such as bay leaf. Quite classical style I would say, quite classically structured, with a style built for long aging, with a juicy red fruit, quite discreet oak and a rather long finish.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
