Château Tour de Pez 2023 – Saint-Estèphe, Cru Bourgeois

The nose firstly expresses notes roasted and crushed fruits (roasted red cherry, crushed red plum, crushed black plum, fresh morello cherry). It also expresses a touch of toast, of fresh red cherry, of prunes in chocolate. After aeration, we find aromas of dried mint, lily, wild rose, lilac, a touch of bay leaf and wild herbs. The palate is juicy, fruity. It expresses notes of morello cherry, bigarreau cherry, raspberry, red plum, blackcurrant in the background, a slight hint of smoke and toast. We also find the flavors of tangy fruits more pronounced and accompanied by a touch of mint and liquorice. The tannins are tight, a little drying, but not astringent. The finish is medium long, chiseled and fresh.
