Medium/full-bodied, fresh, soft and silky, the wine requires just a little effort to entice all of its black cherries, plums, chocolate, espresso and licorice to come to the front of the perfume. Vibrant, with ample, sweet, ripe, lush fruits with a dose of salt that adds to the wines character. Polished lively and long, with sweetness and purity to the fruits that linger, this is the best vintage of La Serre I have ever tasted. Drink from 2024-2045.

92-94 vvPunkte (85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 50% Neuholz) Reiffruchtige, leicht rauchige Nase, zeigt deutlich Röstnoten, angebranntes Holz, Kräuter, Gewürze, dahinter Pflaume und reife Brombeere. Im Auftakt üppig, vollmundig, feine Tanninstruktur, sehr gute Säure, wirkt deutlich frischer als die Nase verspricht, hat Zug, baut Druck auf und endet im Abgang langanhaltend und mit viel Würze, hinterlässt einen Mix aus roten und dunklen Beeren. Ein sehr guter und lebhafter La Serre. 2026-2045 (Mai 2021) vvWine.ch

Full-bodied, silky, fresh and packed with chocolate, black and red plums, licorice, oak and crushed rocks, there is serious vibrancy and depth of flavor here. Polished lively and long, with sweetness and purity to the fruits that linger, this is the best vintage of La Serre I have ever tasted. 93-95

Very ripe on the nose, very much pushes toward the darker end of the fruit spectrum with a generous coating of oak spice. Quite heady; pretty full and starts well but becomes pretty overbearing and oak dominated very rapidly, quite toasty. Burnt spiced oak on the finish. Not for me. 86-88

St. Emilion Grand Cru Classés Walkaround tasting, so just short notes (Amsterdam): 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. In the bouquet beautiful dark berries. Same on the palate, juicy acidity and round, soft tannin. Beautiful wine. 92 - 93
