Château Thieuley 2017 – Bordeaux

The nose is fine and offers a fine concentration as well as a fine minerality. It reveals notes of cassis, wild berries as wild raspberry associated with fine touches of fleshy strawberry, Cuben pepper/gray pepper as well as very discreet touches of spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, suave, precise, straight and offers a good definition, a beautiful juiciness, an acid frame, gourmandize, freshness, an aerial side, tension as well as minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cassis, juicy/fresh blackberry and more slightly fresh/fleshy raspberry associated with fine touches of ripe/crunchy red berries as well as subtle hints of violet, liquorice, caramelized oak and very fine touches of chocolate (in the background). Tannins are fine and slightly firm.
