Château Campillot 2018 – Médoc, Cru Bourgeois

The nose offers a small intensity, a certain power, a small flowery side and a good definition. It reveals notes of ripe wild blackberry, ripe/pulpy raspeberry and small notes of violet associated with touches of small blue fruits, cuben pepper, sweet spices, a very discreet hint of camphor and toasted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers minerality, freshness as well as a fine acidulous frame, fat and fullness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, fresh/juicy blackberry and small notes of fresh raspberry associated with touches of fresh lily, small fresh/juicy red berries as well as hints of cardamom, tonka bean, a racy minerality (almost saline), a subtle varietal hint and discreet hint of hazelnut. Tannins are well-built. Good length. Fine hints of toasted hazelnut on the persistence.
