Château Ad Franco – Réserve Ad Aeternam 2021 – Bordeaux

The nose reveals certain power, concentration and nice finesse of grain. There are notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and, to a lesser extent, cherry, with hints of cherry blossom, violet, pepper and tobacco. The palate is fruity and demonstrates minerality, freshness, juiciness, delicacy, acidity, tension and elegance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, crisp/acidic casis and more lightly red berry fruit combined with hints of fresh flowers, a fine touch of peony and fine hints of liquorice/zan and a subtle hint of fresh sap and fresh blond tobacco. Good length.
