Château Tour de Pez 2018 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is elegant and offers a pulpy fruit. It reveals notes of black cherry, violet and small notes of bright violet plum associated with touches of bright blackberry, liquorice, discreet hints of sichuan pepper, a subtle hint of hazelnut and coffee. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, slightly tight and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, suavity, fullness as well as a beautiful definition and a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright black cherry, violet, plumand small notes of raspberry associated with touches of liquorice, nutmeg, black tea, discreet hints of sweet spices and a subtle hint of mocha. Tannins are well-built. Good length. An imperceptible varietal hint on the aftertaste.
