Château Haut Rocher 2021 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The nose will benefit from decanting. There are notes of ripe small black fruits, black pepper, and small notes of spices, combined with slight touches of nutmeg and a discreet hint of clove and toast. The wine is fruity on the palate and offers freshness, minerality, precision, good definition, and a little tension. On the palate, there are juicy/pulpy blackberry, bright/pulpy cherry, and small notes of pulpy cassis, combined with hints of star anise, blond tobacco and a hint of clove and toast. Good length. Precise, fine tannins. All in length with a little lack in extent.
