Château Real d’Or 2012 – Côtes de Provence

The nose is fruity and finely gourmand. It reveals notes of black cherry, crushed cassis and fine notes of raspberry, crushed blackberry associated with fine touches of licorice / cola, mocha, black olive and a subtle hint of caramelized oak. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a nice acid frame, a fine minerality, a good structure, a fine juiciness and precision. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of crushed cassis, blackberry and small notes of blueberry combined with touches of fleshy strawberry, wood, mocha as well as a subtle hint of black olive, colas and a very discreet hint of coffee (in the background). Tannins are slightly dry. Good length.
