Château Moutte Blanc 2018 – Margaux

The nose offers a fine concentration, a fine power as well as a finely tight grain. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, strawberry and small notes of grey pepper associated with touches of small crushed fruits, blueberry, liquorice as well as discreet hints of green cardamom and an imperceptible hint of mild tobacco. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, freshness, minerality as well as a good definition, precision, a certain gourmandize and a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, raspberry and small notes of crushed strawberry associated with fine touches of cornflower, blueberry, liquorice as well as discreet hints of fresh mild tobacco and chocolate. Tannins are well-built. A subtle hint of bourbon vanilla in the persistence.
