Château Mazeyres 2017 – Pomerol

The nose is aromatic and offers intensity, a beautiful grain, sensuality as well as a small power/concentration. It reveals notes of ripe cassis, ripe blackberry and small notes of ripe blue fruits associated with small touches of dark chocolate/hazelnut, cornflowers/flowers, plum as well as fine hints of Cuben pepper, exotic spices and a very discreet hint of caramelization/nutmeg. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, a mineral frame, suavity, aromatic precision, straightness ( a small straight line), tension, a beautiful grain, crunchiness as well as a beautiful touch. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, fleshy/juicy blue fruits and small notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry associated with fine touches of flowers (lilac, cornflowers…), a subtle varietal hint as well as discreet hints of dark chocolate, toasted/sweet spices. Good length and persistence. A subtle chew on the finish.
