Château Liversan 2024 – Haut-Médoc

The nose is reserved and requires aeration. It then expresses aromas of dried mint, liquorice, white pepper, cardamom, tangy but ripe fruits (red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, morello cherry, blackcurrant), a fine minty hint of fresh wood and pine needles, a toasted touch of toasted hazelnut, heated wood, coffee and chocolate, as well as a fragrant floral bouquet (violet, peony). The palate is savory, smoky and toasted on the attack (smoke, toasted bread, toasted hazelnut, coffee, cocoa), tangy and juicy black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry, morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry), licorice, cardamom, white pepper. The tannins are tight, slightly grippy but fine, solid. Good tangy length, straight and delicious.
