Château Lauriga Le Cadet Rouge 2018 has a deep ruby-red colour with purple highlights. The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe cherry, plum and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of dried herbs, liquorice and a touch of black pepper. Ageing in wood adds subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is full and round, with soft, ripe tannins that give a supple structure. The warm Mediterranean influences give the wine a ripe and spicy character, while refined acidity provides freshness and balance. The finish is long and harmonious, with a fine combination of fruity and spicy notes
Grilled red meat, spiced lamb dishes, hard cheeses such as Manchego.
