LISA PERROTI for THE WINE ADVOCATE (R. Parker)
90-92 points – “Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Lamarque opens with exotic spice scents of cassia, star anise and fenugreek over a core of baked blackcurrants, plum preserves and blueberry coulis plus wafts of redcurrant jelly and wild thyme. Full-bodied, the palate coats the mouth with pure, dark fruits and a firm, ripe, grainy texture with sparks of freshness coming through on the long finish.”
