NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Lamarsalle reveals a medium ruby appearance, indicating its youth and vibrancy.On the nose, it offers an array of ripe red and black fruits, such as red plum, blackberry and blackcurrant, accompanied by subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and earthy undertones. The palate is rich and medium-bodied, with firm tannins that provide structure and balance. The ripe fruit flavors continue to shine, complemented by a touch of vanilla from oak aging.
