Château Bernateau  2016 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fresh, fruity, gourmand and relatively concentrated. It reveals notes of fresh cassis and hints of blueberry, blackberry associated with slight notes of ripe/fresh strawberry as well as a discreet hint of raspberry candy, flowers and a subtle hint of licorice. The palate is fruity, juicy, mineral and offers a beautiful balance, a beautiful acid frame, freshness, a beautiful density, a beautiful expression, a nice fat, suavity as well as a beautiful unctuosity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, fresh/ripe cassis and slight notes of strawberry associated with hints of chocolate and a discreet hint of caramelization. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
