Tasting notes
Lots of redcurrants, darker berry fruits, sandalwood, sappy tobacco, and spicy oak notes emerge from the 2019 Château Lespault-Martillac, a wonderfully elegant, medium-bodied, seamless Pessac that shows the style of the vintage beautifully. It's approachable today but has another 15+ years of prime drinking.

The 2019 Lespault-Martillac presents a well-defined nose of black fruit, bilberry, black olive and touches of gravel. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite saline at first, then maintaining decent delineation, leading to a vibrant, crisp finish with hints of blue fruit lingering on the aftertaste. Very fine.
The 2019 Lespault-Martillac is plump, juicy and quite seductive. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, mint, spice, licorice, anise and citrus. The supple, creamy finish makes this a very pretty wine. This bold, punchy Pessac-Léognan is very easy to like. Tasted two times.
