Château Larmande
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Surprisingly fresh, enticing, blackberries, dark plums, a bit of cedarwood, some green peppers, but also some creaminess & smoky character.
On the palate this is very savoury, peppery, leathery with a nice grippy tannic structure and mellowed fruit (plums!) & softened acidity.
This has evolved very nicely and is actually drinking really nicely right now.

2005. With Steak and Westworld. Great match. Classic.

Sprightly for a 2005 right bank. Punchy nose and lively palate that still exudes youth. Red fruits and berries with consistent flavours of vanilla and cedar. Nice subtle flavors with slightly more than medium tannins. Great drinking but could wait a couple more years. Should easily cellar for another 6 years.
