La Garde 2009 presents a rich and complex profile, showcasing a dark ruby color with hints of garnet. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle notes of leather and earth. As it opens, secondary notes of spice and oak emerge, suggesting a period of aging that has contributed to its depth.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, displaying firm tannins and a balanced acidity that provides structure. The fruit flavors are pronounced, with dark fruits dominating, alongside a touch of tobacco and vanilla from oak influence. La Garde, located in the Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux, benefits from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, making it a notable choice for enthusiasts of classic Bordeaux wines.
88 Robert Parker
Sexy black cherries, unsmoked cigar tobacco, hot rocks and roasted herbs all characterize this soft, lush, very fruity and enticing wine, which is mid-weight and ideal for drinking over the next 6-8 years. — Robert Parker, 23rd December 2011
88 Vinous
Full medium red. Slightly high-toned aromas of blackberry, black cherry, hot rocks, licorice and herbs. Juicy and moderately intense, with good energy to the dark fruit and spice flavors, which carry nicely on the fresh aftertaste. Tannins are quite suave. For drinking over the next ten years.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2012
