Château de Marsan 2016 – Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux

The nose is fine, fresh and relatively concentrated. It reveals slight notes of blackberry, concentrated cassis and slight/discreet hints of wild strawberry associated with hints of blueberry as well as a very discreet hint of licorice stick, toasted hint, gray pepper in the background (after aeration) and a hint of violet. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a slight juiciness, a beautiful freshness, a beautiful fat as well as a slight tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/fresh blackberry and slight notes of cherry, strawberry associated with a discreet hint of toasted oak, licorice stick and blueberry. Tannins are very fine and very slightly dry. Good length and persistence. The persistence offers a slight suavity/gourmandise.
