Château Guadet 2017 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is tight, concentrated and offers freshness. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry, crushed cassis and more sightly strawberry associated fine touches of flowers as well as fine/subtle hints of toasted and sweet spices. The palate is fresh, fruity, well-balanced, precise, mineral, racy, a bit tight and offers a fine juiciness, a small tension, an acid frame, a good definition, volume as well as fullness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, fresh raspberry and more slightly ripe/crushed small beries associated with small touches of fresh small fruits, liquorice, toasted/caramelization as well as a very discreet hint of sugared mild tobacco and an imperceptible hint of flowers (in the background). Tannins are fine and slightly dry.
