Château Belair-Coubet Malbec 2020 – Côtes de Bourg

The wine shows an intense ruby colour, though still quite light for a Malbec. The nose is dense and opulent, packed with juicy notes of red and black cherries, nuances of ripe black plums, a touch of cacao, chocolate and sweet spices. The palate is rich and decadent, revealing a lot of roundness, creaminess and a velvety texture. The tannins are bold but ripe and juicy, very silky. The juicy palate bursts with notes of ripe blackberries and plums, nuances of red and black tea, a touch of goji berries. The finish is very fruity and seductive, a bit warming. Already accessible and open, very modern style.
