Château La Rame – La Charmille 2014 – Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux

The nose is relatively fresh, relatively aromatic and offers richness. It reveals notes of blackberry associated with fine notes of cassis, undergrowth as well as hints of toasted oak, a very discreet hint of caramelization, sweet spices, nutmeg and an imperceptible hint of Sichuan pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, silky and offers a nice mineral frame, a nice definition, volume, fat, a nice suavity, a good structure as well as a fine / discreet acidity (in the background). In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, crushed cassis and fine notes of raspberry, small ripe / crushed red berries combined with touches of zan / licorice, toasted oak, cardamon as well as a subtle hint of vanilla and sweet spices. Tannins are well-built. Good length. Good persistence.
