A succulent, charming wine, the 2020 Lacoste-Borie bursts with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, crushed mint and creamy oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate.
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
Very fragrant, it exhales notes of fresh leather, meat juice and truffle. The palate is marked by a certain rusticity.
Gentle, dark, small berried-fruit, blackberry more than cassis. Hint of cedar. Taut and firm but not dry. Embryonic rather than dry tannins. Long, fresh, juicy finish.
Dense colour, bouquet of warming black fruit in brandy notes, with nuances of liquorice....
Smoke, licorice, coffee, and tobacco leaf notes. A refined wine, which relies more on elegance than power. Good freshness in its medium-bodied, red and black fruit-filled finish.
Ruby red color, very fruity with notes of red fruits (raspberry, cherry), full-bodied, velvety and elegant; with steaks and potatoes, meatballs or aubergine lasagne.
