Amiral de Beychevelle 2024 – Saint-Julien

The nose is fruity, pulpy and offers good definition, a certain fleshiness of fruit and a certain aromatic concentration. It reveals notes of pulpy cassis, concentrated blackberry and small notes of crushed wild raspberry, associated with touches of small brilliant red fruits, fine hints of violet, tobacco, as well as fine touches of cola and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, juicy, fresh, it offers a little minerality and freshness. It also presents fatness, roundness, pulpiness and a fine spherical side in its fat. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy cassis, raspberry and small notes of cornflower, combined with touches of small crushed red berries, as well as hints of lilac and fresh almond. Good length. The tannins are mellow and sapid. Fine texture and a hint of chocolate in the background. A wine offering lovely sapidity/sappy on the persistence.
