Château La Renaissance 2018 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity, slightly tight. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, small ripe/juicy black fruits, small notes of juicy plum associated with small touches of small juicy/ripe red fruits associated with fine hints of violet, nutmeg, lily as well as discreet hints of saffron and hazelnut. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, finely tight and offers a certain tension, a good definition, freshness, suavity and an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy raspberry, small juicy/fresh blue berries, small notes of cassis associated with touches of crunchy/fresh violet plum as well as hints of violet, iris, chocolate, fine hints of chocolate and caramelization. Good length. A very discreet hint of toasted hazelnut on the persistence. A very discreet hint of coffee on the persistence. Tannins are well-built.
