Roc de Cambes 2021 – Côtes de Bourg

The nose is fresh, elegant, deep, complex, with freshness, especially on the spicy side, and reveals some candied character, a fine intensity (in depth), a certain brilliance and roundness. There are notes of ripe/fresh blackberry, violet and more lightly coffee combined with hints of bright red berry/berry fruit as well as hints of toast, camphor and a discreet hint of star anise. The palate is nicely mineral, fresh, elegant, pleasing and reveals a bright/flashy side to the fruit, gourmandize, tension, lovely elegance, good definition, precision and complexity. On the palate this wine expresses pulpy/flavoured cherry, blackberry and slightly blackcurrant notes combined with fine touches of plum blossom, roast and a subtle hint of toast, cardamom and vanilla bean. The tannins are smooth, racy and elegant. Subtle chewiness on the finish/persistence.
