Château Ascension 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Nice elegant nose, fruity, aromatic and which offers a certain power in depth, a nice infusion side and almost a dark side. We find notes of ripe wild blackcurrant, small bright black berries and more slightly aromatic herbs associated with touches of bigarreau cherry, infusion as well as fine hints of camphor, spices and a discreet zan tip. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, a mineral framework, complexity, acidity, a lovely delicacy in its concentration, a nice little linear side (in the noble sense of the term), a stretched side as well as fullness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright blackcurrant, small bright blue fruits and more slightly small roasted fruits associated with touches of infusion/bergamot as well as fine hints of toast and nutmeg. The tannins are polished and elegant. Nice savory length.
