La Croix de Carbonnieux 2020, Pessac-Léognan

On the nose, fruity and distinguished, a subtle  and a fine intensity. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, fleshy strawberry and hints of bright redcurrant associated with touches of violet, racy minerality as well as fine nuances of camphor and pepper. On the palate, fruity with freshness, minerality, good definition, gourmandize, a fine tension, nice freshness and a discreetly tight grain. The wine expresses notes of bright blackcurrant, small black berries and touches of violet associated with hints of wild strawberry, bright redcurrant as well as tips of camphor, licorice stick, discreet hints of pepper and crushed almonds. A finish that tightens slightly. The tannins are precise, well-rounded and very finely firm. Good length.
