Château Lespault-Martillac Rouge - Pessac-Léognan 2018

Vinous

par Neal Martin le 15/11/2019

The 2018 Lespault-Martillac has a delineated, mineral bouquet with touches of mint infusing the red berry fruit. It is almost Pauillac-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and some lovely ferrous black fruit. This feels harmonious and assured. The oak is nicely integrated on the chocolate-tinged finish. Very fine.

Belle intensité fruitée et épicée sur ce vin au corps charnu, d'une belle intensité avec une dimension d'énergie bien maîtrisée.

Dark ruby in hue, the wine shows much more lush qualities than usual. Round, supple, deep and fresh, the fruit is dark, silky and pure with an elegance and zip in the fruity finish. This is going to be great on release!

The 2018 Lespault-Martillac is deep garnet-purple colored with a nose of warm black cherries, red and black plums and fragrant earth with wild sage nuances. The palate is medium to full-bodied and lively with muscular fruit and grainy tannins, finishing with an herbal lift.

This is a structured and layered young red with hot-stone, tar and berry character. Lots of fruit, yet reserved and toned with firm tannins and a lovely texture.

A very fresh and pure style, with a polished beam of cassis and cherry puree flanked by subtle mesquite and mineral notes.

This is silky and nicely held together, pretty tight in its liquorice and oak flavours, not leaving much room for the dark fruit quality lurking in the background.
