Château Cap de Mourlin 2012 — a maturing Right Bank classic with enticing complexity.
Château Cap de Mourlin is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, held by the de Lustrac family since the 18th century. This 2012 shows classic Right Bank character — a Merlot-led Bordeaux blend now developing graceful, savoury maturity.
A captivating aroma of ripe berries, dried herbs and spice with subtle oak and leather. Refined and elegant, with dark fruits — blackberry and plum — intertwined with tobacco, cedar and earthiness, silky tannins and well-balanced acidity, finishing long and lingering.
