Château de Pressac 2014 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fine, elegant and powerful. It reveals notes of cassis, crushed blackberry and slight touches of ripe strawberry associated with touches of black pepper, spices as well as a discreet hint of flowers, chocolate, caramelization and an imperceptible hint of undergrowth. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, silky and offers a slight freshness, a slight acid frame, a very slight unctuosity, a slight concentration as well as a beautiful racy minerality. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, black cherry and slight notes of ripe red berries, raspberry associated with hints of toasted oak, a subtle hint of mocha, a discreet hint of spices as well as hints of chocolate and caramel (on the persistence). Tannins are well-built and elegant. There is a slight concentration on the finish, and a hint of chocolate on the persistence.
