Clos 56 – 2016 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity and offers minerality as well as power. It reveals notes of blackberries, cassis and small notes of flowers (lily, violet …) associated with small touches of graphite, caramelization and Cuben pepper as well as a very discreet hint of nutmeg and cocoa bean (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, suavity, a mineral frame as well as dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy / juicy berries and small notes of raspberries associated with small touches of fresh / juicy blueberry as well as toasted touches, licorice, flowers, graphite, cocoa and an imperceptible hint of Cuben pepper. Tannins are fine, a bit firm and very discreetly tight.
