Château de Lastours
Description
The first nose smells slightly acid red fruits and blackcurrant bud. After aerating it, black fruits such as blackcurrants are guessed. The mouth is straight and mineral with silky-grained tannins. Very ripe black fruits like black cherry and sweet spices like clove go well with the toasty hints from the ageing process. A beautiful, elegant and fresh aftertaste with spices reveals all it ageing potential. Mediterranean food using olive oil, thyme. Dishes like a duck with olives. Serve between 16 and 18°C.
