Château de Côme 2023 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is aromatic, slightly fermentative (stewed cherry, crushed red plum). It also expresses the aromas of morello cherry, blackcurrant, crushed raspberry, complemented by fresh and integrated herbaceous hints (mint, blackcurrant leaf, cut rose stem), with a touch of minerality, as well as notes of sweet spices (liquorice, cardamom) and a hint of toasted hazelnut and violet. The mouth is tight, closed, less expressive on the attack. We find the flavors there, more tangy black fruits (morello cherry, blackcurrant, red cherry, liquorice, blackcurrant leaf, toast, violet). The acidity is salivating, refreshing, offers good bitterness and balances the dryness of the tannins on the finish.
