Chateau La Lagune 2012

Decanter: „Superb black-purple colour, lovely expression of summer fruits on the nose, fine fleshy texture with 10% Petit Verdot adding grip to the natural tannins, already supple but with a great future.“

James Suckling: „Intense nose of blackberries with hints of cedar and spices. Tar, too. This is a full-bodied red with chewy tannins, lovely acidity and a long, fruity finish. Drink from 2018.“

The Wine Cellar Insider: „Produced using a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvingnon, 26% Merlot and 18% Petit Verdot, the wine displays a fresh, black raspberry, spicy, olive tapanade character. There is freshness and crisp, peppery, spicy, fresh red berries coupled with thyme and pepper in the tannic finish. Give it another 5-7 more years to develop. This could have the highest concentration of Petit Verdot in the blend for the estate and 18%.”
