Château Les Hauts-Conseillants 2015 – Lalande-de-Pomerol

The nose is relatively aromatic, slightly powerful / concentrated and offers a fine elegance. It reveals notes of wild cassis, crushed blackberry and fine notes of crushed redcurrant combined with a touch of morello cherry, touches of chocolate powder, blue flowers, caramelized oak as well as subtle touches of cardamon and an imperceptible hint of gray pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, fat, round, silky, finely powerful and offers suavity, a nice juiciness, a nice definition and a fine freshness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy red berries and touches of fleshy Gariguette strawberry combined with fine touches of crushed blueberry, toasted oak, caramelization and a subtle touch of vanilla Bourbon. Tannins are well-built. Good length. The persistence is gourmande.
