Wine Notes of the Day
Moulin de La Lagune 2002 Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux
Wine Facts:
- Second label of Château La Lagune - a classified third growth property
- 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
- 13% vol.
- Appellation Haut-Médoc Contrôlée
- £14.99 from Majestic Wine
My Tasting Notes:
- Intensive ruby colour with slight haze
- Light-medium bodied (towards the lighter side, especially comparing to other Medoc wines)
- Youthful aroma with hints of vanilla, berries, charcoal and pepper
- Acidulous and sharp with short finishing
- Modestly flavoured with supple texture, fruity yet a bit over-killed by the acidity and burnt-oak bitterness
- Despite its youthfulness, the wine needs to breathe for at last 30 minutes to release its structure and potential
- A slight disappointment among other Medoc wines at first sight but okay after the wine is decantered
