Nose
At first, it is the power that appears, and then the roundness settles in. After airing, notes of blackberry and blackcurrant develop and give the impression of a wine with fruit, vivacity and opulence.
Palate
The attack is still discreet, and the palate quickly confirms the first visual and olfactory impressions: roundness, suppleness and fresh fruit. The tannins, already well melted, leave all their place to the fresh and explosive black fruit. The finish is long and silky, with powerful and greedy aromas. A warm, tasty Saint-Emilion, supported by a beautiful freshness that keeps its promises. It can be drunk now (decanted), but a year of ageing will allow it to blossom.
