Marquis d’alesme Becker 2020 – Margaux

On the nose, fresh, aromatic and offers a certain racy/fresh power, a fine grain and a certain fullness. It reveals notes of blackberry, wild berries and tobacco combined with hints of vanilla, sweet spices, fresh red berries and a discreet hint of cherry blossom, nice minerality and a discreet hint of nutmeg. On the palate, fresh, fruity, a bit tight and offers good definition, a certain gourmandize, a juicy/acidic frame, minerality, good definition and well conducted density/richness. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, violet and hints of raspberry combined with wild red berries as well as hints of sweet blond tobacco, nutmeg and an imperceptible hint of coffee in the background. Good length. A discreet touch of dried almond, a little chewiness and sapidity on the finish/persistence.
