Château Le Castelot 2008 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 

The nose is fruity and offers a small juiciness and a small power. It reveals notes of juicy blackberry, small ripe / juicy berries and cassis combined with fine touches of lily / flowers, very ripe red berries as well as very discreet hints of liquorice and Bourbon vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a small freshness, a small minerality, tension, an acid frame as well as a beautiful juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of small crushed black berries associated with small touches of raspberry, ripe / juicy redcurrants, hints of flowers as well as discreet hints of tobacco, chocolate, tea and a very discreet hint of undergrowth (in the background). Tannins are very slightly dry.
