Château Haut-Bana 2016 – Médoc

The nose is aromatic, very slightly tight and offers a small power. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild berries and small notes of crushed raspberry combined with touches of crushed wild red berries, violet, chocolate, Sichuan pepper and cardamom. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a beautiful grain, an acidulous frame, juiciness, gourmandise, a very fine tension, a fine suavity as well as a good structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy / fleshy blueberry and fleshy / juicy red berries associated with touches of blackberry, violet as well as discreet hints of liquorice stick and spices. Tannins are well-built.
