Château Lambert – Cuvée Barriques 2014 – Fronsac

The nose is fruity and offers a fine concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry, raspberry and cassis associated with a touch of blueberry cream, cola, chocolate and a subtle touch of sweet spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine acid frame, a fine juiciness, racy minerality, a fine richness and a fine fat. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of ripe red cherry, blackberry, cassis and fine touches of black cherry / raspberry combined with a touch of licorice, toasted oak as well as a subtle touch of tobacco and sweet spices. Tannins are well-built. There are an imperceptible hint of mocha and a touch of acidity on the persistence / aftertaste.
