Lacazan

This wine features a nicely developed bouquet, rich with the aromas of coffee, wet wood, dark fruits, animal farm, night flowers, and spices. Its freshness is accentuated by a slightly elevated profile due to VA, enhancing the overall experience. The palate is graced with flavors of fig, sweet tobacco, and dark fruits, complemented by a subtle hint of wet earth. This sophisticated and well-balanced combination of elements creates a delicious tasting experience. The wine skillfully marries complexity with drinkability, making each sip a delightful journey through its evolved character.

With each bottle from this winery, my appreciation deepens, and the 2016 Lacazan is no exception. Offering remarkable value, this wine masterfully balances affordability with sophistication.

Its nose entices with a harmonious blend of red and dark fruits - pomegranate and dark cherries stand out - complemented by hints of coffee, dark chocolate, and an intriguing animalistic touch. The subtle presence of volatile acidity elevates its complexity, introducing a refreshing twist.

On the palate, it's a symphony of flavors - spicy, yet with an underlying delicacy. This wine boasts a juicy texture, enriched by tones of fig, sweet tobacco, and a gentle earthiness. It's structured, flavorful, and closes with a memorable finish.

Truly a gem that brings joy.
