Château Plaisance 2016 – Montagne Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity and offers juiciness, a fine power, a good definition and a ripe/gourmand fruit. It reveals notes of fleshy Boysen berry, crushed cassis and small notes of strawberry associated with fine touches of liquorice, sweet spices, nutmeg and discreet hints of Cuben pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, tension, a racy minerality/almost saline minerality, suavity, a good structure as well as a small concentration. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and small notes of fleshy wild strawberry associated with a touch of plum, liquorice, cardamom as well as discreet hints of spices. Tannins are well-built.
