Château Bonalgue 2018 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity, racy and offers freshness, justness as well as a fine power. It reveals notes of bright cassis, cornflower, small notes of small bright blue fruits associated with fine hints of violet associated with fine hints of small juicy red fruits as well as discreet hints of liquorice, spices and a very discreet hint of cardamom. The palate is fruity, juicy, elegant, beautifully defined, full of finesse/Elegance and offers gourmandize, a beautiful finesse of the grain, a fine acidulous frame, precision, a controlled small fat, a small tension and a fine creaminess. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fleshy blackberry, fleshy strawberry, small notes of small bright/juicy blue fruits associated with touches of crushed blue plum, chocolate, vanilla as well as a discreet hint of caramelization and toasted almond. Good length. Gourmandize, a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut/chocolate on the persistence/finish. Tannins are elegant and supple. A gourmand and beautifully built wine.
