Clos La Madeleine 2017 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is aromatic, elegant, fine, precise and offers a fine intensity. It reveals notes if blackberry, wild strawberry and more slightly blueberry, spices associated with subtle/discreet hints of cardamom, vanilla and a very discreet hint of green curry. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced, precise, straight, open and offers dynamism/vivacity, a good definition, a fine acid frame, tension as well as suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry and wild strawberry associated with fine touches of cassis, ripe wild berries as well as subtle hints of vanilla, toasted, cardamom and a very discreet hint of almond. Tannins are fine and slightly chewy. The finish is slightly powdered. Good length.
