Natalie's Score: 88/100

You taste the heat on this Bordeaux, which throws it out of balance. That's a shame since the flavour profile under the heat is quite lovely. Aromas of cassis and blackberry. Full-bodied. Decant 2 hours and pair with flame-broiled brontosaurus burgers.

Food pairings: roast chicken, pork tenderloin stuffed with dried fig and apricot, sausage cassoulet.

This Château De Lussac 2009 was reviewed on August 27, 2017 by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
