Château de Lussac

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate ochre rim. Hints of blackberry with tobacco and herbs, some cassis, black cherry, mineral touch. Good complexity, fine fruity sweetness of cherry, integrated tannins, salty aftertaste, a versatile food companion with certain ageing potential.

Much better in bottle than in barrel, the wine pops with its espresso, spice, smoke, licorice, incense and red berry core of fruit. Medium-bodied, soft and fresh with loads of silky red berries, touches of cocoa and freshness on the palate and in the finish, this is going to be even better with a year or two of age. Drink from 2022-2033. 90 Points
