Médoc - Cru Bourgeois

-

The nose is powerful, fruity, racy and spicy. It reveals notes of Boysenberr­y and spices associated with hints of gray pepper, red fruits (strawberry…), undergrowt­h as well as a discreet touch of licorice and tea. The palate is fruity, mineral, silky, well-balanced and offers a small fleshy, a good

density, a small tension, fat, a good structurea­nd it’s… a bit aerial. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy Boysenberr­y, cherry, raspberry and hints of cassis, crushed strawberry associated with slight notes of spices, gray pepper as well as a hint of oak, grilled/cacao oak, zan and a discreet hint of green bell pepper. Tannins are fine and a bit dry. Good length and persistenc­e.

Score : 14.75
