Château Reignac – BALTHUS 2023 – Bordeaux Supérieur

The nose is aromatic and offers a nice width of the palette, intensity, depth, complexity as well as a graphene and textured side. We find notes of wild blackberry, sage and small notes of lilac/lily associated with touches of small red fruits (with Mediterranean accents in their maturity), small black plums, morello cherry as well as hints of rosemary, pine needles, black tea, infusion, an almost blueberry hint, star anise, balsamic as well as a subtle hint of graphene and mocha. The palate is nicely led, fruity, balanced, roundness, delicacy, pulpiness, freshness, a nice shine of the fruit as well as a tangy frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright blackberry, bright raspberry and small notes of bright red berries associated with a touch of cornflower, crushed blue plum, hints of rosemary, morello cherry, sage as well as fine hints of pepper, bergamot, a discreet hint of toast, coffee and vanilla. The tannins are sapid and mellow. Good length. Deliciousness, depth and concentration in balance.
