Chateau des Landes 2015 Lussac Saint-Emilion

"Ripe and structured, this wood-aged wine is still developing. It has a dark structure, dense blackberry fruit and powerful concentration. A peppery touch of alcohol gives it a bitter finish, which should dissipate as it ages. Drink from 2022 " Wine Enthusiast 91 Points

This wine is silky, round and smooth first taste, with aromas of raspberries, and blackcurrant, powerful and complex finish.
