Château La Marzelle 2018 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, aromatic, racy and offers a certain complexity. It reveals notes of ripe wild cassis, small fleshy blu berries, small notes of fleshy raspberry associated with touches of cornflower, pulpy blue plum as well as very fine hints of hazelnut, mild tobacco and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, fresh, racy, well-balanced and offers a mineral frame, juiciness, a good definition as well as dynamism and a very fine salinity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, fleshy/juicy cassis, small notes of juicy/fresh plum associated with touches of crushed raspberry, toasted, liquorice as well as discreet hints of caramelization, graphite, chocolate, an imperceptible hint of vanilla and grey pepper. Good length. Appetence and gourmandize in the finish/persistence.
