Château Cantelauze 2020, Pomerol

On the nose, fruity, elegant and offers a certain concentration, a refined intensity, a fine texture as well as a certain complexity, power (in finesse/mastery). It reveals notes of bright blackcurrant, violet and subtle notes of violet plum associated with touches of pulpy wild strawberry as well as hints of caramelized hazelnut, sweet blond tobacco, a waft of vanilla bean, a discrete hint of saffron and dark chocolate. On the palate, fruity and offers juiciness, smoothness, freshness, an acidic frame, tension, precision as well as a nice definition, a fine structure and a slightly spherical side. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackcurrant, fleshy purple plum and subtle notes of small black berries associated with hints of violet, crushed strawberry, chocolate as well as hints of nutmeg, toasted hazelnut and caramelization. Chewy on the finish. A discreet touch of coffee on the persistence.
