Gassies 2018 – Margaux

The nose is elegant and offers power, a beautiful richness, a beautiful finesse of the grain as well as a fine spicy side. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild raspberry and small notes of small wild fruits associated with touches of Sichuan pepper, spices as well as a very discreet hint of flowers (lily, cornflower) and tea. The palate is well-balanced and offers freshness, fluidity, fat, fullness, a fine suavity, precision, richness, density as well as a finely tight grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy cassis, juicy/ripe blackberry and small notes of small red berries as well as subtle hints of sweet almond, tea (in the finish), a very discreet hint of flowers and an imperceptible hint of nutmeg (in the background). A fine chew as well as an imperceptible hint of cocoa/tonka bean on the finish/persistence.
