Tasting Notes
This full-bodied, Cabernet-based blend has deep colour. It offers layers of black and red berry aromas, hints of currant and cacao on nose and delivers a well-rounded amalgam of berries and chocolate on the palate that lingers on the aftertaste. The Le Général has the potentital to mature over a 5-10 years period and will only get better with time.
Serve between 16°C-20°C. Lanzerac Le Général will stand up well against duck, turkey, roast beef, venison and roast lamb or simply to be enjoyed on its own.
