Château Ad Franco – Réserve Ad Aeternam , Castillon Côtes-de-Bordeaux 

On the nose, fruity, fresh and offers a little power and a fine concentration. It reveals notes of juicy wild blackberry, pulpy raspberry and slightly ripe wild berry combined with hints of violet, licorice and a waft of camphor. On the palate, juicy and offers tension, fine uprightness, a certain/fine gourmandize, a mineral/finely acidic frame and a fine tight texture. The wine expresses juicy/fresh blackberry, plummy/juicy and slightly fresh cherry notes with hints of fresh/juicy cassis, violet and a subtle touch of lily, licorice and cardamom. Good length. The tannins are a bit tight and finely marked.
