Château Haut-Bonneau – Vieilles Vignes 2019

On the nose it is fruity and offers concentration (a nice concentrated fruit). It reveals notes of crushed cassis, crushed blueberry and more lightly crushed raspberry associated with touches of crushed berry fruits as well as hints of vanilla and toasted hazelnut. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, smoothness, a tangy frame, richness, fleshiness, gourmandize, delicacy as well as a good balance. Beautiful material! On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / fleshy blackberry, crushed cassis and more slightly blueberry associated with touches of tangy / juicy redcurrants, hints of tonka bean, toasted hazelnut as well as a subtle hint of caramelization and vanilla. The tannins are racy and finely mellow. Presence of a small biterness on the end of the mouth / persistence.
