Château Les Trois Croix 2014 – Fronsac

The nose is fruity, finely tight and offers elegance. It reveals notes of blackberry, black cherry and slight notes of black berries, strawberries, crushed raspberries combined with a hint of liquorice, wood, spices as well as a very discreet hint of pepper, nutmeg, violet and a very discreet hint of undergrowth (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, gourmande and offers juiciness, a nice freshness / minerality, dynamism, volume, a good definition, fat, a fine unctuosity, a fine elegance as well as a very fine tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy cassis and fleshy blackberry associated with touches of ripe red berries as well as hints of wood / vanilla, dark chocolate / tonka bean, sweet spices and a very discreet hint of coffee (in the background). Tannins are well-built. An ample, round, fruity and gourmand wine. The finish / persistance is gourmande.
