Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Lamothe-Bergeron starts out a little reductive/rubbery before revealing notes of prunes, blueberry preserves and cassis plus hints of sautéed herbs, pencil shavings and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with fruit cake and berry preserves flavors, framed by firm, chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.
