Carillon d’Angélus 2018 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity and offers a fine grain, a small concentration (in control), elegance as well as a certain intensity. It reveals notes of bright blackberry, bright cassis, small notes of fleshy strawberry associated with fine touches of violet, cornflower, tonka bean, toasted oak and a discreet of green cardamom. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, gourmandize as well as concentration, a small tension, structure, elegance, minerality, freshness and deepness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed/fleshy cassis, Boysen berry, small notes of fleshy wild strawberry associated with touches of plum, cornflower, fine hints of chocolate, liquorice as well as very discreet varietal hints (not vegetal), toasted hazelnut and green cardamom. Good length. Tannins are fine and elegant. A good gourmand persistence with notes of hazelnut/toasted almond, flowers and bitterness of the cocoa.
