2013 Chateau Lassegue Saint Emilion

(90 Points) "It is in the most difficult vintages that you see the winemaker's hand; the length on this wine comes not from the depth of the fruit but from the gentle spicy notes of nutmeg and white pepper. Raspberry leaf and smoked earth comes through as things open. Helped in this vintage by the fact that the Seillans live on site, making it easier to treat at weekends, and this was a vintage when you certainly needed to do that" - Decanter
