Château Clos St-Emilion Philippe, 122 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity, elegant, with good definition. It reveals notes of pulpy blackcurrant, juicy wild berries and, more slightly, roasted-juicy berries, associated with touches of violet, strawberry, as well as hints of vanilla and toasted almond. The palate is beautifully juicy, pulpy, gourmet and benefits from a beautiful freshness, with a pleasant coating sensation in the mouth. We perceive notes of creamy blueberry, pulpy blackcurrant and, more slightly, raspberry, associated with touches of juicy fruits, racy minerality, as well as a subtle touché of almost infusion, with liquorice stick. A slight almost woody and dry hint is felt at the end of the palate, with a touch of toast. Tannins are slightly mellow.
