G d’Estournel 2024 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is beautifully fruity, frank, it offers dense aromatic, darkness in freshness, aromatic concentration of almost inky and relief. It reveals notes of small juicy-roasted red fruits, brilliant cassis and small notes of fairly ripe cherries, associated with touches of graphene, as well as a hint of bergamot and black pepper. The palate is well-built, supple, fresh, mineral and airy. It offers delicacy in its intensity, lovely concentration, juicy blackness and a tangy frame. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of boysenberry, brilliant cassis and small notes of small roasted-elegant fruits, combined with touches of lilac, star anise, as well as fine hints of roasted red berries and a subtle cornflower note. Good length. A wine offering a certain gourmandise from the Cabernet Franc. The tannins are finely chalky and gourmand. Lovely freshness and minerality, suppleness, precision, silky texture, with discreet floral notes in the background.
