Château Fayat 2023 – Pomerol

A lovely fruity, fresh nose, which offers a certain minerality, a certain small density in freshness and an airy side, precision and good definition. It expresses notes of boysenberry, small pulpy/fresh black fruits and more slightly – of pulpy/fresh purple plum, associated with touches of pulpy/fresh raspberry, as well as hints of blueberry, tonka bean, grilled almond and a discreet hint almost sweet pepper. The palate is nicely juicy, fresh, mineral, elegant, and offers a crystalline, almost airy side, accuracy. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackcurrant, bright blackberry and more slightly – of blueberry associated with touches of pulpy/juicy plum, small fresh blue fruits, as well as fine hints of liquorice stick, sweet blond tobacco and a discreet hint of chocolate. Good length, the tannins are sapid and mellow, delicious. Lovely freshness and classicism, lovely sense of detail. A subtle almost roasted-fresh hint in the background. The finish is finely enveloping. A very discreet hint of fresh flowers in the background.
