Domaine Sergent 2014 – Madiran 

The nose is fruity and offers a slight gourmandise. It reveals notes of wild blackberries, small wild black berries and small notes of fleshy strawberries, small fleshy blue fruits associated with touches of raspberry and Sichuan pepper as well as discreet hints of flowers, cedar, nutmeg and spices. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a slight suavity, a small tension, dynamism, precision as well as a beautiful mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of Boysenberries and small crunchy / juicy berries associated with small touches of crunchy / ripe red berries, raspberries as well as a hint of flowers, nutmeg, graphite and spices. There is a very discreet hint of licorice, coffee and a very discreet toasted hint / chocolate on the finish / persistence. Tannins are structuring and very discreetly dry. Good length.
