Labegorce 2017 (750ML)

92-93 Points, James Suckling: "A juicy and rich red with lots of fruit and wet-earth character. Medium to full body, ripe tannins and a fresh finish." 4/18

90-93 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "Fresh and lively, with red and black currant fruit gilded with lilac and sandalwood notes. A fresh mineral edge shows on the finish. Nicely rendered. " 4/18

92 Points, Jane Anson, Decanter: "An excellent Labegorce, full of rich black fruits, textured and layered. A great success in the vintage, with a mouthwatering delivery that holds itself with confidence. It's not hugely intense, as is often the case this year, but makes up for it with a poised delivery and firm, juicy tannins." 4/18

91-93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com: "The 2017 Château Labégorce checks in as 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot (which is slightly more than normal), 8% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot, aging in 45% new French oak. Its vibrant purple color is followed by a beautiful bouquet of crème de cassis, crushed flowers, classy oak, and graphite. With medium to full-bodied richness, an awesome texture, and ripe tannin, it's up with the top wines from the appellation. Tasted twice. This is an estate readers need to have on their radar." 4/18
