Château L’If is a relatively new Bordeaux wine, created by Jacques Thienpont, best known for owning the famous Pomerol property Le Pin. The property consists of 8 hectares of which 5 are situated next to Troplong Mondot. The 2019 is a Merlot-dominant expression, offering notes of red fruits, tobacco leaves, dark chocolate, macadamia nuts and wet earth. Drinking well now but will develop further in bottle.

The 2019 L'If has an almost Left Bank nose with copious graphite scents percolating through the black fruit, very focused and energetic. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, finely tuned, ripe and sensual with ample freshness on the cedar and mineral infused finish. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023

75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc. Barrel sample.Lifted but restrained with an appetising fruity nuance. Integrated oak just perceptible. Texture smooth and silky, the tannins long and finely honed. Overriding freshness, even zesty on the finish. (JL)
