Château Vieux Maillet 2019 – Pomerol

The nose is aromatic, finely tight and offers a small concentration and a fine dense side. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, pulpy/juicy blueberry, small notes of pulpy raspberry associated with touches of cornflower, lily as well as fine hints of nutmeg, spices, toasted/chocolate and an imperceptible hint of rose petal (in the background). The palate is fruity, mineral, well-balanced and offers a finely acidulous frame, juiciness, tension as well as suavity, a small fat, a good structure, a racy minerality and a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, juicy raspberry, small notes of blueberry associated with touches of cornflower, crunchy/juicy violet plum as well as hints of toasted, chocolate and very fine hints of mild tobacco. Tannins are finely marked and coating. Good length.
