Château Cossieu-Coutelib 2022 – Saint Estèphe

The nose is fruity, fresh and offers a certain intensity, power as well as a certain straightness. It reveals notes of fresh blackberry, racy minerality and small notes of graphite/camphor associated with touches of small fresh red fruits as well as hints of cornflower, cherry blossom and a fine hint of Sichuan. The palate is fruity, balanced and offers minerality, freshness, tension, accuracy, a racy mineral framework as well as good work on the (good) bitters (discreet/in the background). On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, small dense/juicy black fruits and small notes of bergamot associated with touches of lily, racy minerality as well as hints of tonka bean, small fresh/bright blue fruits (in the background)
