Château Lesparre – 2014

Youthful, quite pale colour, medium deep straw. Aromatic nose. First of all it is quite smoky, so generous amount of oak. Some smoke paired with some hints of lemon zest and yellow fruit. Palate is on the lighter side with a youthful acidity. It gives a good bite to the palate. Fresh and zesty with lemon-lime. Quite a long finish. Only thing indicating youth right now is the generous amount of oak on the taste as well, slightly dominates right now. I like the smokiness on the nose, still quite present on the palate. However, this is a young wine, so this will vanish in the coming years or so. Quite interesting in character full style of white Bordeaux.
