Château Hervé-Laroque 2019 – Fronsac

The nose is fruity and offers little indulgence, elegance as well as a certain power with style. It reveals notes of blackberry, frize and more slightly fleshy cassis associated with violet, cornflower, hints of wild berries as well as fine hints of pepper and a discreet hint almost sage. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, balanced and offers a certain power, a refine straightness as well as a  richness. This wine expresses notes of crushed cassis, creamy blackberry and more slightly pulpy raspberry associated with touches of cocoa, sage, licorice stick, almond as well as fine hints of vanilla / sweet spices and cocoa (in the background). Tannins are precise, racy and smooth. A mellow bitterness at the end. Good length.
