Château Bonalgue 2014 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity, relatively elegant and finely powerful. It reveals notes of blackberry, black cherry and slight notes of cassis associated with a hint of small red fruits as well as discreet toasted hints, sweet spices, clay, mocha and a very discreet hint of cornflowers. The palate is fruity and offers an acid frame, a fine juiciness, a nice roundness, suavity, a racy minerality and a beautiful matter. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of crushed blackberry, raspberry jam and slight notes of plum combined with discreet hints of red berries, slight toasted touches, chocolate and a discreet hint of Bourbon vanilla. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length and persistence. There is a hint of clay on the finish.
