Arnoux & Fils, Vieux Clocher 2019 – Ventoux

The nose is fruity and offers a fine power, a fine concentration, a fine tension/straightness. It reveals notes of juicy/crunchy black cherry, small fleshy red berries, small notes of rose associated with small touches of bright cassis, violet, very fine hints of liquorice stick, pink laurel and a subtle hint of garrigue (in the background). The palate is silky, gourmand and offers a good definition, juiciness, a beautiful bright fruit, a small fat as well as roundness, a fine acidulous frame, a beautiful finesse of the tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cassis, bright redcurrant, small notes of cherry associated with small touches of bright raspberry as well as very fine hints of violet, black live, pink laurel and a very discreet hint of liquorice stick. Good length.
