Château Petit Val 2016 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity and offers a slight freshness. It reveals notes of blackberry cream and blueberry associated with slight notes of strawberry, caramelization as well as a very discreet hint of toasted and an imperceptible hint of almond. The palate is fruity, relatively juicy, slightly gourmand, well-balanced, fine, fresh, slightly tight and offers a slight acid frame, fat, a slight minerality, a slight tension, a slight suavity as well as a nice structure. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy griotte and slight notes of strawberry associated with a hint of blueberry, toasted as well as a very discreet hint of licorice/caramelization and cacao on the finish/persistence. Tannins are well-built and racy. Good length.
