Product Description
Tight pencil lead, this is sleek and punchy, with cassis and bilberry fruit, all grilled up with dried herbs and cedar. Needs to soften over ageing but there is a lot to enjoy here. A pencil that packs a punch! Notes of blackcurrant and bilberry are perfectly balanced with dried herbs and cedar, making for a savory and satisfying sip. Let it age for even more enjoyment.

Wine EnthusiastBig, ripe and juicy, this wine has density and a fine, promising tannic structure. There is freshness behind the wine's concentration and dryness that will give a wine that has a good balance of perfumed black fruits as it develops. Barrel Sample: 93-95

Jeb DunnuckThe finest vintage I've tasted from this estate, the 2020 Chateau Lespault-Martillac is full-bodied, round, and sexy, with a terrific mouthfeel as well as classic darker currant fruit, notes of chocolate and tobacco, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's a little gem of a Pessac-Leognan to drink over the coming two decades. Best After 2023.
Bordeaux red blends, hailing from the Bordeaux region in France, artfully combine grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec to create wines celebrated for their balanced profiles, marrying the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the fruitiness of Merlot. Known for aging potential, these wines evolve, gaining complexity and softer tannins over time, and their styles range from elegant to full-bodied, influenced by grape proportions and specific terroirs within Bordeaux sub-regions.
