Château Saint Ahon 2024 – Haut-Médoc

The first nose is fragrant, gourmand and savoury. It expresses notes of dark chocolate, morello cherry in chocolate, coffee, toasted hazelnut, toasted wood, a distinct, but enveloped spicy hint (liquorice, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom in the background). The fruits on the nose are juicy, ripe, sweet (morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant), associated with a touch of warm pine needles and wild mint. The palate is airy, fluid in a good way, accessible, with tangy fruits on the attack (bigarreau cherry, raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, morello cherry), a sappy hint (bark, pine needles, sap in the background), but more delicate spicy and toasted notes (liquorice, chocolate, hazelnut, hint of vanilla). Good tangy persistence (on notes of blackcurrant and red cherry) with a roasted and toasted touch in the background. Freshness and gourmandise.
