Château Richelieu 2018 – Fronsac

The nose offers a fine concentration and freshness. It reveals notes of fresh liquorice stick, fresh cassis, small notes of crushed strawberry associated with fine touches of fleshy/crushed cherry as well as fine hints of lilac, rose, a subtle hint of spices and a very discreet hint of grey pepper. The palate is fruity, beautifully fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a beautiful juiciness, a beautiful juicy/fresh fruit, a certain tension as well as structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, juicy blueberry, small notes of cherry associates with small touches of crunchy raspberry as well as fine hints of lily, fresh violet, a discreet varietal hint, liquorice and an imperceptible hint of fresh tobacco. Good length. A very discreet hint of cocoa on the finish/persistence.
