Château Croix du Trale 2022 – Haut-Médoc

The nose is velvety and offers a fine mellowness as well as spices. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of gray pepper associated with touches of concentrated small red fruits as well as hints of tobacco and nutmeg. The palate is well-balanced, fruity and offers a fine pulpy/juicy, an acidulous frame, a small suavity, freshness, a certain roundness, mellowness as well as a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, juicy/pulpy blackberry and small notes of crushed wild strawberry associated with toasted touches, vanilla, salinity and nutmeg. Good length. A hint of good bitterness in the background.
