Château Haut Nouchet 2020 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is aromatic, elegant, fresh and offers a certain small power as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of blackberry cream, crushed strawberry and slight pepper associated with saline touches, hints of almost roasted berries as well as discreet hints of liquorice and chocolate. The palate is fruity, fresh, nicely tangy and offers delicacy, a tangy frame as well as minerality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, creamy blackcurrant and slight notes of raspberry associated with fine touches of almost roasted berries, vanilla as well as a hint of cornflower and chocolate. The tannins are supple and sapid. Good length. A nice freshness. A fine chewiness on the finish/persistence.
