Château Mayne Vieil – Cuvée Aliénor 2022 – Fronsac

The nose is racy and offers a small minerality, spices as well as a local grove side. The palate is fruity and offers minerality, freshness, a good definition, a certain juiciness, a small creaminess, a fine silkiness as well as a slightly tight frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of concentrated blackberry, crushed red berries and small notes of kirsch cherry associated with touches of lily, cardamom, spices as well as a toasted hint, liquorice and chocolate. Good length. A varietal hint in the background as well as on the persistence/aftertaste. A wine with big maturity.
