Château Bonnet – Vieilles Vignes 2018 – Moulin-à-Vent

This wine is racy and offers a fine complexity. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of small black fruits, cornflower, lily, small notes of violet plum associated with touches of crushed cherry, crushed strawberry as well as fine hints of rose, fresh liquorice stick and a very discreet varietal hint (positive). The palate is delicate, silky, fresh, finely tight/on the hold and offers a fine acidulous frame, a beautiful finesse of the tension, a certain structure as well as delicacy and a small aerial side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy questch plum, rose, violet, small notes of small blue fruits associated with touches of small bright red berries, bright cherry as well as hints of chocolate, toasted, dry local copse/sense of the place. Tannins are well-built. A delicate wine, a bright and gourmand fruit.
