Chateau Mascard, Haut-Medoc, France 2011

Description

A classic Left Bank Bordeaux, the 2011 Château Mascard reflects the structured, traditional style of the Haut-Médoc. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot support, it shows mature notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and tobacco layered with hints of leather and earthy spice.

With time in bottle, the tannins have softened into a firm yet approachable frame, while the acidity keeps the wine balanced and composed. The palate leans savory, with subtle oak integration and a dry, structured finish typical of the appellation.
