Chateau Sanctus 2019 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fresh, aromatic, racy and offers power (in finesse). It reveals notes of wild blackberry, ripe/acidulous violet plum, acidulous/juicy raspberry associated with small touches of small fresh flowers, a racy minerality, fresh mild tobacco as well as a discreet hint of camphor and grey pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a fine acidulous frame, juiciness, a good definition, gourmandize, a small tension, a good guideline, a racy acidity, roundness/suavity, dynamism as well as a good finesse of the construction despite the power. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/acidulous blackberry, juicy/acidulous raspberry, small notes of juicy violet plum associated with touches of small juicy/Fresh berries, lily, iris as well as fine hints of tonka bean, tobacco, a discreet hint of violet and a very discreet hint of liquorice (in the background). Tannins are precise and racy.
