La Dame de Boüard 2017 – Montagne Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity and offers a slight juiciness as well as a slight concentration / intensity and power. It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of fresh red berries, fresh blue fruits associated with slight touches of licorice, tobacco, toasted almond as well as a very discreet touch of primrose / lilac and Sichuan pepper (in the background). The mouth is fruity, elegant and offers tension, a very beautiful freshness, roundness as well as a beautiful matter and a unctuous matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, ripe / crushed wild strawberry and slight notes of crushed red berries, crushed black cherry associated with small touches of primrose / lilac and subtle toasted touches, subtle / discreet touches of liquorice, a very discreet hint of sweet blond tobacco, almonds and coffee (in the background / on the finish). Tannins are fine and well-built. Tannins are a bit tight.
