Château Lafite Monteil – Grande Réserve 2018 – Bordeaux Supérieur

The nose is fruity and offers a small elegance. It reveals notes of ripe blackberry, ripe small blue fruits and small notes of ripe red fruits associated with fine touches of toasted, cornflower, caramelization, minerality as well as an imperceptible hint of graphite. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers minerality, freshness and a mineral/finely acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/crunchy cassis, juicy/crunchy raspberry and small notes of juicy small blue fruits associated with fine touches of violet, liquorice stick as well as discreet hints of cardamom and toasted. Good length. Tannins are slightly chewy.
