Château Lamothe Vincent Intense Rouge 2018

Château Lamothe-Vincent Intense Rouge, Medaille d’Or 2018
AOP Bordeaux
Fabien has changed the blend to 70% Merlot with 30% Petit Verdot, aged in French and American oak barrels.
It is deep in colour, with an intense nose of black fruits with hints of Rioja (the American oak influence), leading into a very concentrated, complex wine brimming with blackberry, damsons, dried figs, tobacco and liquorice with soft tannins at the finish.
Fantastic now but will develop in complexity over five years. Once again a Gold medal winner in Paris.
