Château Livran 2018 – Médoc

The nose is fruity and offers a certain power, elegance, a beautiful finesse of the grain as well as a certain complexity and an aerial side. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, fleshy wild strawberry and small notes of small wild fruits associated with touches of violet/cornflower as well as hints of cuben pepper, fleshy/juicy blueberry, spices, fresh nutmeg, a discreet hint of toasted oak and an imperceptible saline hint (in the background). The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, minerality, a beautiful acidulous frame, a fine tension as well as a fine grain and an aerial side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackberry, fresh raspberry and small notes of small red berries associated with touches of lilac, lily, tonka bean, green cardamom, discreet hints of pepper and toasted. Tannins are well-built and very finely chewy. Sapidity in the finish. A very discreet chew and a very discreet hint of dry almond in the finish/persistence. A good fine bitterness in the aftertaste.
