Château Durant-Laplagne – Les Terres Rouges 2020 – Puisseguin Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity and offers power, intensity and harmony. There are notes of black berries, bright blackcurrant and, more slightly, violet plum, combined with hints of roasted red berries, a touch of lilac and a discreet hint of fresh pepper and fresh tobacco. The palate is fruity, tight-knit and offers freshness, acidity, some tension, juiciness and energy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, juicy/ripe cherry and more slightly violet combined with hints of blackcurrant, violet plum as well as a hint of blueberry, cardamom, a subtle hint of fresh blond tobacco and a discreet hint of noble varietal. The tannins are supple. Mellow on the finish/persistence.
