Château Lagrugere - L'Essentiel Bordeaux 2021 (750ml) Carmel as well as Avesso inVibrant ruby in colour with a lovely depth, the nose on this jumps right out at you, a heady swirl of morello cherry, wild strawberry, roses and violets. The textural frame is superb, firm tannins that quickly dissolve in the mouth under a summer fruit bowl of strawberry, blackberry and rhubarb flavours, with refreshing piquancy from redcurrant and sour cherry notes, all set on a minerally base like youre sucking wet stones dipped in fruit compte.
