Château Rol Valentin 2018 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fresh, fruity, racy and offers a small concentration, a small gourmandize as well as a fine intensity. It reveals notes of fleshy backberry, fleshy strawberry and small notes of fresh cassis associated with fine touches of vanilla and caramelization. The palate is fresh, fruity, well-balanced, juicy and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, a small aerial side, minerality as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/acidulous raspberry, juicy/acidulous blackberry and small notes of wild strawberry associated with fine touches of cherry, subtle hints of liquorice as well as very fine hints of chocolate and vanilla. Tannins are well-built. Good persistence.
