Château Couhins-Lurton 2023 – Pessac-Léognan

A lovely fresh, juicy, pulpy nose, with a certain depth. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, juicy/pulpy strawberry and more slightly – fresh blueberry associated with fine hints of infusion and a hint of incense and fresh-toasted. The palate is nicely juicy, fruity and offers freshness, a tangy frame, tension, accuracy, a certain delicacy, energy, a nice definition. It expresses notes of juicy/tart blackberry, fresh/bright strawberry and more slightly – fresh/bright blueberry, associated with touches of small fresh/bright red berries, as well as fine hints of cornflower, infusion and racy/almost graphite minerality. A subtle saline hint in the background. Lovely little softness and freshness in the middle of the palate.
