L’ORME DE RAUZAN GASSIES 2022 – Haut-Médoc

The nose is aromatic, with a certain power and concentration. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, cubeb pepper and small notes of small wild berries, associated with touches of eucalyptus, cinnamon and a hint of roasting, with a certain intensity and velvety side. The palate is well-built, fresh, mineral and balanced, with a fresh frame. It expresses notes of pulpy blackberry, crushed raspberry and small notes of violets and plum blossom, associated with touches of cardamom, tonka bean, as well as fine hints of iodine and discreet hints of clove. Fine hints of roasting in the background. Lovely freshness. Tannins offer a chewy texture. The frame is tangy, mellow and gourmand, with a lovely, unctuous substance and a hint of gourmand austerity and roasting on the finish/persistence.
