Château Ampélia 2020 – Castillon Côtes-de-Bordeaux 

The nose is fruity, elegant, aromatic and offers complexity, a nice definition and a certain depth. It reveals notes of bright cassis, bright blackberry, small notes of small black berries associated with touches of cornflower, sweet blond tabaco as well as hints of strawberry, fresh hazelnut, and a discreet hint of Voatsiperifery pepper. The mouth is nicely fruity, fresh and offer a certain delicacy in its richness and in its power, a small tension, suavity and gourmandize. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, bright cassis, small notes of cherry associated with touches of bright raspberry, bright cassis, cornflower as well as fine hints of fresh blond tabaco, bergamot and hazelnut. Good length. The tannins offer a fine firmness. A small softness and a small chew in the finish/persistence.
