Landot - Haut-Médoc - Rouge - 2018

Wine:

As intense and comprehensive as ever, propelled by a very great vintage, the 2018 Red Haut-Medoc Landot offers the quintessence of its style this year. The Cabernet Sauvignon is perfectly ripe, a full-bodied wine, very Medoc-like but without any rigor of style. The polished tannins and the slender and energetic palate offer a complex and deep wine with an exquisite mentholated finish.

Palate:

Full and complex, this wine unfolds an intense palate carried by a great vintage with a fine and energetic texture.
