Château de Carles – Haut-Carles 2023 – Fronsac

The nose is fruity and offers a little creaminess, gourmandise as well as concentration in accuracy. It reveals notes of fleshy cassis, violet and small notes of concentrated small blue berries associated with touches of violet, sweet blond tobacco and a hint of star anise. The palate is nicely mineral, fruity, balanced and offers freshness as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy cherry, creamy/fresh blueberry and small notes of juicy cassis associated with touches of lily, violet as well as fine hints of tobacco, toast and a discreet hint almost aromatic herbs. Nicely carried and gourmand. Good length. A subtle hint almost cardamom in the background.
