James Suckling 89-90

Vinous Media 89-91
The 2018 La Tour de Segur is ripe, juicy and boisterous, all of which will make it easy to drink upon release. Creme de cassis, chocolate and sweet spice are all pushed forward. This racy, opulent Lussac Saint-Emilion is sure to be a crowd pleaser. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

The 2018 la Tour de Segur has a deep garnet-purple color and features expressive notes of mulberries, baked blueberries and Christmas cake with touches of mocha, Chinese five spice and cardamom. Full, rich and packed with black and blue berry preserves, it has a velvety texture and soft freshness, finishing spicy.

Tasting notes
Intense, cherry red color. The nose is pleasant with notes of ripe red fruit, hints of spice and vanilla. Very pleasant balance between structure and volume. Fruit aromas blend elegantly with woody notes. Good ageing; it can be left to age longer to appreciate its qualities. Pair with mushroom toast, oven roasted duck or even for pork knuckle with lentils.
