Château Castagnac 2018 – Fronsac

The nose is aromatic and offers a certain intensity. It reveals notes of fresh vanilla pod, ripe/fresh blackberry and small notes of fresh hazelnut associated with touches of crushed strawberry, crushed blueberry as well as fine hints of green cardamom, a discreet hint of pepper and an imperceptible hint of tea. The palate is mineral, well-balanced and offers freshness as well as a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fresh blackberry, fresh raspberry and small notes of crushed blueberry associated with touches of fresh lily, rose as well as small hints of fresh liquorice stick and a subtle hint of vanilla pod. Good length. Tannins are structuring. A very discreet hint of toasted almond and bergamot on the persistence/finish.
