Château La Vieille Cure 2017 – Fronsac

The nose is fresh, fruity, fleshy and offers a small intensity/concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry, fresh strawberry and more slightly vanilla associated with touches of fresh raspberry as well as fine/discreet hints of cornflower/flowers, racy minerality, chocolate and cardamom. The palate is well-balanced, precise, gourmand, full, generous and offers a beautiful definition, a good freshness, fat as well as a food finesse/texture. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed cassis, wild raspberry and fleshy redcurrant associated with touches of vanilla, chocolate, liquorice as well as a subtle hint of nut. Tannins are fine and slightly firm.
