Château Rolland-Maillet 2017 – Saint-Emilion

The nose is elegant, precise, clear, well-built, fruity and offers a very fine power (in the background). It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of Cuben pepper associated with touches of violet, wild strawberry, a fine touch of small blue fruits as well as hints of nutmeg, spices and graphite. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a mineral frame, juiciness, a fine acidulous (in the background), suavity as well as a fine and slightly tight grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackberry, cassis and small notes of juicy/crunchy violet plum associated with small touches of small crunchy red fruits as well as hints of flowers (iris, cornflower), spices and fine hints of cocoa. Tannins are structuring, straight and precise.
