Château La Louvière 2006

Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fine and quite aromatic. It reveals notes of cassis, plum and slight notes of strawberry associated with a hint of undergrowth, dried black cherries as well as a hint of oak and a discreet touch of liquorice. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers fat, a small suavity, minerality, freshness as well as a fine mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, crunchy strawberry and fine touches of black cherry associated with slight notes of mocha, violet, leather and a fine hint of oak. Tannins are fine and slightly dry. Good length.

Score : 15
