Chateau Laforge St. Emilion Grand Cru 2002

90% Merlot 10% Cabernet Franc. Excellent, deep purple, exotic, cigar, dark chocolate and blackberry fruit aromas. Concentrated without too much extraction, explosive pure blackcurrant, overtones of toast and leather. Sweet, supple tannins with a rich, silky finish. One of the few Merlot dominated successes of 2002. – Decanter
