Château Saint-Georges Côtes Pavie 2010 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, slightly tight and offers precision as well as a certain intensity. It reveals notes of quite ripe cassis, dry strawberry and small notes of blackberry associated with touches of liquorice, sugared tobacco as well as very fine hints of underwood/humus and a very discreet iodine hint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a certain dynamism, minerality, an acidulous frame as well as a fine tension, deepness as well as a certain aromatic purity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quite ripe wild cassis, blackberry, small notes of violet associated with touches of humus, small red fruits, tonka bean, toasted as well as hints of toasted almond, tobacco (in the background) and an imperceptible hint of coffee (in the background). A fine powdery side in the finish. A good persistence.
