La Closerie de Fourtet 2023 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Lovely airy nose that offers a lovely precise grain as well as a certain power with precision. It reveals notes of juicy blackberry, juicy wild blackcurrant and small notes of cornflower associated with touches of fresh Madagascar pepper as well as a hint of violet, cornflower and a subtle hint of spices. The palate is nicely fresh, mineral, balanced and offers a lovely juiciness, gourmandise, a lovely tangy frame, energy, harmony, pulpiness as well as tension. Lovely freshness and burst of fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, juicy/bright raspberry and small notes of juicy/fresh violet plum associated with touches of cornflower as well as a subtle hint of star anise and toasted almond. Good length. A subtle mellow and nicely tasty hint on the finish/persistence.
