Château Altimar 2012 – Lalande-de-Pomerol

The nose is aromatic, elegant and relatively fine. It reveals notes of flowers (cornflower, lilies), blackberry and ripe wild berries combined with touches of spices (gray pepper …) as well as an imperceptible hint of undergrowth and wood. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine mineral frame, a fine juiciness, freshness, a good definition, a fine suavity, finesse, elegance and a good guideline. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy Boysenberry and juicy cassis associated with slight notes of fleshy cherry, fleshy raspberry as well as fine touches of wood, mocha, truffle and very discreet touches of spices. Tannins are fine and slightly firm. Good length.
