Château Alcée 2018 – Castillon Côtes-de-Bordeaux

The nose is well-buitl and offers gourmandize. It reveals notes of crushed redcurrant, strawberry, small notes of pulpy/juicy Boysen berry associated with fine touches of zan, nutmeg and a very discreet hint of black tea. The palate is fresh, mineral, fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness as well as gourmandize, a fine tension and a beautiful bright fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright blackberry, bright cassis, small notes of violet associated with touches of bright plum, small red berries as well as fine hints of zan, black tea and a very discreet hint of cardamom/tonka bean. A very fine chew on the finish.
