Le Clos du Beau-Père 2010 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity and offers freshness, gourmandize, a fine intensity as well as a fine power and a fine deepness. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, small crushed blue fruits, small notes of crushed strawberry associated with small hints of lily, cherry, cuben pepper, a discreet hint of Badiane, a subtle saline hint, black tea as well as an imperceptible hint of incense and cocoa (in the background). The palate is fruity, mineral, juicy, racy and offers gourmandize, a flattery/on the ruit side, freshness, a fine straightness, a good guideline as well as suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quite ripe red cherry, pulpy Boysen berry, small notes of violet associated with touches of small crushed blue fruits, very ripe wild strawberry as well as a subtle hint of black tea, pepper, liquorice and a very discreet hint of orange zests. A very discreet hint of chocolate on the finish/persistence. Tannins are well-built.
