Château La Courolle 2016 – Montagne Saint-Emilion

The nose is fleshy, slightly tight, relatively gourmand and offers a slight richness. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry and crushed strawberry associated with hints of cassis, minerality as well as a discreet woody hint, cacao and a hint of spices (cinnamon, cardamom). The palate is fruity, juicy, fine, well-balanced, relatively fleshy and offers a beautiful acid frame, a slight minerality as well as a beautiful, precise fruit. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, crushed strawberry and a hint of cassis, crushed sour cherry associated with a hint of chocolate as well as a slight notes of caramelization. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length. Nice potential.
