2023 Laujac, Médoc Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

Confirming its status as a sleeper of the vintage, the 2023 Laujac has turned out beautifully in the glass. Evoking a gourmand, attractive bouquet of dark berries, rose petals, cherries, violet and mulberries, it is medium- to full-bodied, seamless and textured, offering good depth at the core, framed by velvety tannins and concluding with a fresh, long and ethereal finish. Kudos. (YC)
