Château La Branne 2017 – Médoc

The nose is aromatic and offers a small intensity, a fine freshness as well as crunchiness. It reveals notes of blackberry, violet and small notes of red cherry and juicy small red fruits associated with fine touches of racy minerality, Timut pepper as well as a subtle hint of vanilla/caramelization. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, net/clean and offers a fine suavity, a fine acid frame as well as a good definition. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/juicy redcurrant, juicy cherry and more slightly cassis associated with a subtle hint of plum, caramelized oak, Bourbon vanilla as well as a very discreet hint of chocolate and an imperceptible hint of cardamom. Tannins are well-built.
