Tasting
The nose of Château Romefort 2018 opens with aromas of black currant and raspberries together with toasted notes. The attack is clean, the mid-palate generous and the tannins intense but controlled. Medium to long finish.
Reviews
"The 2018 Château Romefort has lots of dark cherry and currant fruits as well as notes of tobacco, cured meats, and spice. Medium-bodied, full-bodied, round, and impressively textured, it's one heck of an impressive Haut-Médoc to drink over the coming decade."
"Aromas of dark tea, walnuts and bark with some plums. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh, delicate finish. Very drinkable now, but even better in a year or two."
