Château Haut-Nouchet 2017 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fresh, a bit tight, structured and a fine power. It reveals notes of blackberry, lily and  touches of crunchy fruits associated with small hint of bulb, racy minerality as well as dsicreet hints of zan and a very discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a beautiful freshness, tension, precision, a fine unctuosity as well as straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fresh blackberry, fresh cassis and crushed raspberry associated with small notes of chocolate, liquorice as well as sublte touches of almond and a very discreet hint of Bourbon vanilla (in the background). There is a hint of crushed nut on the persistence.
