Château La Couspaude 2017 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fresh, structured, crunchy as well as relatively aromatic. It reveals notes of blackberry and cocoa associated with fine notes of fresh cassis, wild red fruits, violet/iris as well as hints of toasted oak, zan, tobacco and spices. The palate is fruity, fresh, juicy, well-balanced, well-built and offers a beautiful grain, fat, a good definition, an acid frame as well as dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy cassis, crunchy blackberry and more slightly crunchy strawberry associated with fine touches of juicy cherry, redcurrant, toasted oak, cocoa, sweet spices as well as a subtle hint of grilled (in the background), cornflower/iris and an imperceptible hint of zan. Tannins are well-built. Good length. gourmandize on the finish.
