Amiral de Beychevelle 2023 – Saint-Julien

A lovely fruity, aromatic nose, which offers complexity, depth and a certain richness of matter with an airy side and finesse. It expresses notes of creamy blackberry, pulpy blackcurrant and more slightly – roasted-juicy cherry, roasted-juicy raspberry, associated with touches of tobacco, lily and Punjab pepper. The palate is nicely juicy, pulpy, fresh, nicely tangy and offers delicacy, nice energy, a tangy frame, tension. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, crunchy/tart cherry and more slightly – roasted-juicy small fruits, associated with touches of blueberry, fine hints of chocolate and toast. Finesse and accuracy, a fine austerity, a maceration side. A nice tangy frame, precise, frank, racy tannins. Good length.
