Château Sainte-Marie 2021 – Pomerol

The nose is elegant, fresh, aromatic, with a certain richness in finesse and a fine creaminess in freshness. There are notes of fresh boysenberry, crushed blue berries and slightly strawberry combined with hints of violet, fresh blond tobacco and slightly blueberry, fine touches of spice as well as a discreet touch of fresh vanilla and fresh blond tobacco. The palate is fruity, balanced and reveals freshness, minerality, good definition, juiciness, an acidic backbone, elegance, a little creaminess in freshness and a little airiness in its approach. On the palate this wine expresses creamy blackberry, blackcurrant and more lightly fresh/acidic blue berry notes combined with hints of lily, caramelisation and fine toasted hints. Juicy and fresh. Good length. Nice freshness and definition.
