Description
Château de Viaud 1983 – Lalande-de-Pomerol
The Château de Viaud 1983, from the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, is a beautiful example of the traditional Right Bank style of the early 1980s. The warm 1983 vintage allowed Merlot to reach excellent ripeness, resulting in wines that were supple, charming, and capable of ageing with finesse — qualities that shine through in this mature bottle.
The wine displays a deep garnet colour with brick highlights, showing graceful evolution. The nose reveals ripe plum, blackcurrant, and lightly stewed red fruits, followed by refined tertiary aromas of soft leather, tobacco, forest floor, and a subtle truffle note, characteristic of well-aged wines from this region.
On the palate, the wine is round, smooth, and velvety, with tannins softened yet still supportive. Flavours of evolved dark fruit, gentle spices, earthy undertones, and a faint smoky nuance unfold with elegance. The finish is long, harmonious, and delicately aromatic, marking a Lalande-de-Pomerol at perfect maturity.
A refined and expressive mature Lalande-de-Pomerol, ideal for lovers of evolved Merlot and classic Right Bank wines.
