Domaine de Laxé – Tradition 2019 – Cotes de Gascogne IGT

The nose is aromatic, precise and offers a small elegance, a fine justly built richness and an aromatic purity. It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy/juicy quitch plum, small notes of bright redcurrant associated with a touch of Gariguette strawberry, rose, lilac as well as fine hints of pepper, spices, sense of the place and a very discreet hint of cypress. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, a small justly built/finely tight power, a small concentration as well as a very beautiful finesse of the fat, tension and a fine aerial side (despite its power/structure). On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, juicy/acidulous blueberry, small notes of wild strawberry associated with a touch of bright redcurrant as well as hints of chocolate, toasted, nutmeg, a very discreet hint of vanilla and sense of the place. Good length. Tannins are well-built and precise. Sapidity on the finish.
