Château Le Chemin 2016 – Pomerol 

The nose is fruity, quite gourmand and offers a small power. It reveals notes of blackberry, small wild black fruits and small notes of chocolate, blueberry associated with small touches of red fruits/crushed strawberry, vanilla, Sichuan pepper and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, very slightly tight, well-structured and offers a good definition, finesse, suavity, a fine acidulous frame, juiciness, minerality as well as a fine grainy sensation. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, small wild black fruits and small notes of black cherry, chocolate associated with toasted touches, crushed red fruits as well as discreet hints of cardamom and sweet spices. Tannins are fine and very slightly tight. Good length.
