Château Moulin Haut-Laroque 2018 – Fronsac

The nose is elegant, racy, justly built, full of precision and offers concentration. It reveals notes of ripe black fruits, violet ripe/fleshy cassis, small notes of small ripe violet plum associated with fine touches of camphor, very fine hints of cuben pepper, cardamom, almond/hazelnut and a discreet hint of lime/graphite. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant and offers a beautiful definition, precision, a beautiful freshness as well as juiciness, minerality, a beautiful finesse of the grain, a beautiful silky touch and a beautiful fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, juicy/pulpy/fresh violet plum, small notes of small black fruits associated with touches of small blue fruits, raspberry, cornflower, as well as hints of graphite, camphor, liquorice, caramelization, a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut and an imperceptible hint of black tea (in the background). Tannins are well-built and elegant. Good length. A small appetent side on the finish/persistence.
