Tasting notes

Merlot at its best! Decant 15 minutes before serving. Small vineyard of less than 2 hectares acquired by the Mingot family in 2013. An unsurpassed merlot! Perfect maturity and exquisite ingredients, with silky, melted tannins. Complex flavours of black fruits, with notes of spice and liquorice. An exceptional vintage of this outstanding Lalande-de-Pomerol. Château La Pensée is drinkable within the first few years after bottling, but will continue to develop in potential and can be aged for up to 15 years.
