Chateau Couhins-Lurton - Chateau Couhins-Lurton rouge 2021

DECANTER: "Gorgeous clarity here, so clean with fine tannins that give a powdery texture to balance the vibrant raspberry and red cherry fruit. Deep and layered with a verticality that gives it such an aerial feel with an expansive aroma but also structure and tension alongside a drive of gorgeous minerality - crushed stone and graphite. The fruit has a succulence but also concentration and the minty slate touch on the tongue gives an appealing salinity on the long finish. Easy to enjoy."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, tobacco leaf, spearmint, currants, and plums are in the nose and on the palate. The wine is fresh, medium-bodied, and with a crisp edge to the mildly, cocoa-tinted, energetic, red fruits in the finish. Drink from 2023-2034."
