Château Escot 2024 – Médoc

The nose is juicy, concentrated and delicious. It expresses aromas of morello cherry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry, black plum and crushed blueberry, with a refreshing minty frame (wild mint, pine needles), a spicy and toasted touch (licorice, even star anise, grated nutmeg in the background, tonka bean, dark chocolate in the background, toasted hazelnut, coffee), violet peony. The palate is straight, precise, finely tightened with grippy tannins on the attack, a slightly bitter tannic side of wild cherry and cranberries, notes of blackcurrant, morello cherry, red cherry and raspberry. There are also notes of vanilla in the background, licorice, a hint of star anise, pine needles, a sappy touch. The finish is juicy, tangy (bigarreau cherry), quite persistent. Accuracy and freshness.
