Château La Lagune, Haut-Médoc, 3ème Cru Classé, 2012

Superb black-purple colour, lovely expression of summer fruits on the nose, fine fleshy texture with 10% Petit Verdot adding grip to the natural tannins, already supple but with a great future.

A great quality 2012, these are pretty serious tannins that are still very much on form, holding the cassis and bilberry fruit together, with clear black pepper and saffron notes filling out the mid palate. Packed with gourmet richness, a lovely wine. 50% new oak.
