Château Alcée 2019 – Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

The nose is fruity and offers power (in control) as well as a fine concentration. It reveals notes of juicy/Fresh wild cassis, juicy/Fresh violet plum, small notes of small black berries associated with touches of crushed blueberry, bright raspberry as well as fine hints of violet, grey pepper and black tea. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, a bright/very well-defined fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/bright black cherry, small black berries, small notes of bright cassis associated with touches of crushed wild raspberry as well as hints of zan, mild tobacco, cornflower and discreet hints of fresh coffee (in the background). Good length. A very discreet hint of almond/hazelnut on the persistence.
