Château Sainte-Marie – Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2017 – Bordeaux Supérieur

The nose offers a fine power as well as a fine concentration. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry and more slightly bulb associated with fine/discreet hints of gray pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, precise, slightly tight and offers a fine juiciness, minerality, a good definition, tension as well as a small minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and more slightly small wild red berries associated with fine touches of liquorice, violet, sugared mild tobacco and toasted. Very fine power on the finish.
