Confidences de Prieuré-Lichine 2023 – Margaux

A lovely fruity, fresh nose, which offers a lovely racy minerality slightly on a touch of graphite. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy Boysenberry, violet and small notes of pulpy cassis associated with touches of nutmeg, bright wild strawberries as well as discreet hints almost of spices, infusion. A subtle hint of darkness. The palate is nicely mineral, fresh, gourmet and offers a tangy frame, tension, a nice stretched side, depth, a little darkness/depth/aromatic concentration in freshness and accuracy, a nice stretched side. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, fresh/juicy black berries and more lightly – tobacco, cardamom, associated with touches of camphor, racy minerality as well as a subtle hint of violet, lily, cherry blossom and a subtle hint of toasted almond, tonka bean. The tannins are sapid, soft and subtly powdery at the same time. Good length, a nice energy on the finish/persistence and a subtle almost coffee hint in the background.
