Lot 360 | 2018 Haut Medoc Red Wine 750ml (92-Points)

Lot 360
2018 Haut Medoc Red Wine (92-Points)

750ml

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot; the youngest of the bunch is at no loss for lack of age and missing no complexity. The opening is a bit more of a fruit-forward showcase in this vertical with dark cherries, raspberry coulis, and cassis berries accented by crushed violets. The entry is the juiciest of the bunch, but not juicy per se, red-to-blue/black fruit stands in front of new leather and dried herbs accented by medium acidity and plentiful, grippy medium-grained tannins. The finish is dry and long with resonant vanilla character and cassis umami.

A satisfying French wine.

"I have a common refrain when discussing the denegoce wines with my friends. Their curated wines never fail me. For several years now, each bottle has been a joy to drink. The 2018 Haut Medoc falls neatly in this category. Dry with subtle fitness and fruit layering. It was a great buy."
