Matthieu Barret – Et la bannière… 2019 – Crozes-Hermitage

The nose offers a certain power, concentration as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of black cherry, bright red plum, small notes of violet associated with touches of bright Boysen berry, hints of crushed raspberry, cuben pepper, zan, black tea as well as discreet hints of spices and saffron. The palate is elegant, fruity, beautifully acidulous and offers tension, precision, energy, a small racy minerality, a beautiful finesse of the grain, power, concentration (full of delicacy), a beautiful finesse of the fat as well as a beautiful acidulous/juicy and ripe at the same time fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of acidulous/juicy red cherry, acidulous/juicy redcurrant, small notes of juicy violet plum associated with touches of plum flowers, bright cassis as well as hints of violet, small fresh flowers, cardamom, hazelnut and a fine hint of coconut (in the background). Tannins are elegant and delicate. A ample, elegant, delicacy and silky touch wine.
