Real character here. Layered and exciting, sous bois and spice. Sumac and cranberries, wild plum, kumquat, blackberry. Long charcoal-rubbed tannins. Satin-tucked-into-driftwood finish.

This is exceptionally good, because it pulls together modern approachability with transparency of fruit and place without losing its essential 'Cahor-ness'. Well-played, team Château Lamartine.

Wild currants, herbs, earth, bark and spices on the nose follow through to a medium to full body with fine, firm tannins. Crunchy cherries at the center with a succulent and silky finish.
