Château La Clémence 2023 – Pomerol

The nose is closed at first, but then it expresses the savory and elegant, spicy and woody notes. We find the aromas of liquorice and vanilla in the background, associated with an integrated toasted hint and a juicy and gourmand fruitiness (roasted cherry, chocolate cherry, morello cherry, black plum, red plum, crushed raspberry, wild strawberry). The palate is silky, fruity and expresses flavors of strawberry, blackcurrant, black plum, red plum, raspberry, as well as peony and toast, combined with notes of cardamom and nutmeg. The finish is long, toasty, gourmand and sapid. We find notes of liquorice, roasted herbs and wood still present, but enveloped in the fruits. The tannins are powdery, chocolatey and silky. Nice balance and potential.
