Chateau de Barbe Blanche Lussac-Saint Emilion AOC 2019
France, Lussac-Saint-Emilion AOC
Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Description
Nice dark red colour with good depth and some dark garnet reflections. Nose is fine and elegant, revealing a tasty mix of ripe red fruits (cherry, strawberry), combined with a light toasty note. A beautiful amplitude on the attack announces an equally interesting palate with a nice sweetness, well coated tannins, fatness; whole well balanced. We find all the delicacy of ripe fruit (cherry, strawberry, but also blackcurrant, plum), slightly jammy, with a hint of vanilla. Nice length.
