"Tasted at the annual Crus Bourgeois tasting, the 2015 Labadie has an impressive bouquet of blackberry, blueberry, and tobacco that unfolds with aeration. I appreciate the influence of the aging process. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a subtle hint of acidity, and freshness from start to finish, with a subtle marine note on the finish. It is a very fine Médoc, clearly the best since 2010.” (Wine Advocate - Neal Martin)

Wine rated (2018 guide) 89/100
About the wine:
With a high percentage of Merlot, this is a ripe, juicy wine with aromas of red fruit. It is smooth, with tannins that are already well integrated into the velvety fruit. This rich, full-bodied wine will be ready to drink starting in 2022.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
Ripe, plump fruit and a full-bodied structure are balanced by lively acidity and rather elegant tannins in this modern-style Médoc with a long, refined finish. Ready to drink now or for aging.

Review by Mr. PATRICE P. Published on April 16, 2019
Serve at 19°C and decant (30 minutes beforehand), as the tannins are not yet fully rounded and the wine may have a slightly astringent finish.
