La Devise de Lilian 2018 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose offers a small power, a certain intensity as well as a fine freshness and a fine concentration. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, camphorand small notes of crushed strawberry associated with small touches of small red berries, toasted oak, roasted, violet as well as a hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, juicy, suave, beautifully gourmand, flattery and offers a small fat as well as an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cherry, crushed raspberry and small notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry associated with touches of lilac, cornflower as well as hints of chocolate, camphor, vanilla, a subtle hint of tobacco and a very fine hint of grilled/toasted. Tannins are well-built. Good length. A beautiful work on a good bitterness.
