Château La Roque de By 2022 – Médoc

The nose is nicely built and offers concentration, a certain richness, a small gourmand darkness, complexity as well as a small mellowness. It reveals notes of soft blackberry, concentrated small black fruits and small notes of concentrated raspberry associated with touches of aromatic herbs, pepper as well as fine hints of liquorice stick. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers juiciness, freshness, suppleness, minerality, a tangy frame, brilliance as well as a nice purity of fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cassis, wild strawberry and small notes of fleshy/juicy redcurrants associated with touches of star anise, nutmeg as well as a hint of tobacco and a hint of aromatic herbs (in the background). Good length. A fine hint of liquorice and colas in the background.
