Château Les Tours de Peyrat – Vieilles Vignes 2014 – Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

The nose reveals slight notes of crushed cassis, blackberry and touches of strawberry associated with hints of wild black berries as well as discreet woody hints and a very discreet hint of licorice/caramelization (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a slight minerality, fat, a slight tension as well as a slight straightness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, ripe strawberry and slight notes of cassis associated with a discreet hint of blueberry as well as a slight touch of toasted oak, licorice and very slight notes of sweet spices/nutmeg. Tannins are well-built. Good length. There is a very discreet hint of hazelnut on the aftertaste. The persistence is gourmand.
