Les Tourelles de Longueville 2018 – Pauillac

The nose is fresh and offers power, delicacy as well as a certain intensity (in freshness), a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy/fat cassis and small notes of raspberry associated with touches of violet plum as well as hints of violet, a racy minerality (terroir) as well as fine hints of green cardamom, caramelization and a hint of bourbon vanilla pod. The palate is beautifully fresh and offers gourmandize, minerality, juiciness, a beautiful definition as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain, a bright fruit which brings purity and an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fresh blackberry, fleshy/fresh raspberry and small notes of racy minerality associated with touches of violet, tea, saffron, small fresh/fleshy fruits as well as hints of chocolate, a racy minerality, tonka bean, caramelization, very discreet hints of toasted hazelnut and a subtle hint of gravy minerality (in the background). Good length. Tannins are well-built and elegant. Fine hints of chocolate and toasted oak on the persistence.
