This Lalande de Pomerol from the excellent 2018 vintage is expected to display a rich bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, such as plum, black cherry, and cassis, intertwined with notes of cedar, tobacco, and perhaps a hint of vanilla or spice from oak aging. On the palate, it should be medium to full-bodied with smooth, velvety tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a persistent finish featuring fruit and savory complexity. The warmth of the 2018 vintage would suggest good ripeness and concentration.
