Croix Canon 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic, spicy, beautifully intense and yet delicate, with well-marked spices. There are notes of violet, blond tobacco, and more discreetly pepper, associated with touches of wild blackberry, small very ripe wild berries, as well as small fairly ripe blue fruits, accompanied by hints of clove and nutmeg. The palate is fruity, with juiciness, smoothness and delicacy, a slight sensation of candy, as well as a slight fatty roundness. The frame is tangy, with notes of pulpy blackcurrant, small juicy/pulpy blue fruits and cornflower, accompanied by touches of violet, cornflower to a fine hint of nutmeg, chocolate, sweet blond tobacco and a hint of vanilla. A certain creaminess is felt in the background. Good length, and a certain controlled power. At the end of the mouth, a hint of discreet roasting appears.
