Château Lary Tagot, Bordeaux, France, 2018

From vineyards in Entre deux Mers, this everyday claret scores highly for the value it offers. Merlot-dominant, it has good freshness despite coming from the warm 2018 vintage. Juicy, dark fruit, some earthy notes and good typicity. Aged for 10-12 months in stainless steel. Straightforward, unfussy Bordeaux that should be enjoyed within the next year or two.
