Château Haut-Cadet  2016 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

 The nose is fresh, powerful, fruity and offers a slight concentraiton. It reveals notes of fresh/ripe blackberry, fresh/ripe wild strawberry and racy mienrality associated with a discreet hint of iodine as well as a hint of toasted/caramelized oak. The palate is fruity, juicy, fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, ripe/fresh wild srawberry and slight notes of fresh cassis associated with a hint of toasted oak as well as a discreet hint of dark chocolate and a discreet hint of sweet spices. Tannins are fine and slightly dusty/dry. Good length and persistence.
