ChateauLamotheBergeronMagnum2013

<p>Chateau Lamothe Bergeron Cru Bourgeois, Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, France, Magnum 2013Grapes: A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon & 55% Merlot, 67ha vineyard on gravel soil, 12 months’ ageing in oak barrels, vats & amphoraeCharming, distinguished and fresh, 2013 stands out for its perfect balance. The colour is brilliant and the tannins silky, fine and full, enhanced by lovely notes of cabernet-sauvignon, cassis, cherry and spices.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Damsons without a trace of sweetness. Lots of drying, vigorous, stemmy tannins. Chew chew chew. You need strong jaws for this one! The idea of damsons but not delivering any fruit just yet.” 15.5/20 points, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, September 2015″This easy, early-developing wine has balanced tannins that lift the black-currant fruitiness and the fresh acidity. It is developing fast, with its fruit right to the front and the tannins in the background. Drink from 2017.”88/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST, January 2016Chateau Lamothe Bergeron Magnum 2013</p>
