Château Clément Saint-Jean 2016 – Médoc, Cru Bourgeois

The nose is aromatic, concentrated and offers a small power as well as a fine freshness. It reveals notes of fleshy cassis, wild blackberry and more slightly gray pepper associated with touches of fresh raspberry, graphite as well as hints of spices and a very discreet hint of liquorice (in the background). The palate is mineral, fruity, well-balanced and offers a mineral frame, a small tension as well as fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fresh raspberry, ripe/fresh red berries and more slightly fresh blackberry associated with small touches of liquorice, almond as well as discreet hints of tonka bean (in the background). Tannins are structuring and very slightly firm. There are fine hints of liquorice, vanilla and tonka bean on the finish/persistence.
