Château Barbey 2015 – Fronsac

The nose is fruity and offers a fine freshness. It reveals notes of flowers (violet, cornflower), fresh strawberry and redcurrant associated with a subtle hint of cassis, a very discreet hint of bell pepper and a subtle toasted hint (in the background). The mouth is fruity, fresh, a bit tight, sanguine / fluid and offers minerality, fat, a good volume as well as an acid frame. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of red cherry, redcurrant and blackberry, combined with subtle touches of plum, a hint of ripe bell pepper, subtle touches of flowers, toasted oak as well as an imperceptible hint of vanilla. Good length.
