Clos Marsalette 2017 – Pessac-Leognan

The nose is fine and offers a fine concentration. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, ripe strawberry and more slightly small wild berries associated with fine touches of strawberry, sweet spices, toasted as well as a discreet hint of flowers and liquorice. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a beautiful fat, tension, a beautiful acid frame as well as a fine freshness (in the background). On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/crunchy cassis, blackberry and mores slightly crushed strawberry associated with fine touches of red berries, caramelization, toasted as well as fine touches of chocolate and a very fine touch of salinity (in the background). Tannins are fine and structuring. Good length.
