Chateau La Gurgue 2016 75cl

Tasting Note: The nose is fruity, well-balanced and offers a very fine concentration. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, cassis and more slightly wild raspberry associated with touches of red berries, Cuben pepper as well as a very discreet hint o liquorice. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, very discreetly tight and offers a beautiful juiciness, a good definition, an acidulous frame, fat, suavity, tension as well as gourmandize. On the palate this wine expresses notes of wild strawberry and fleshy/crunchy raspberry associated with small touches of small red berries, juicy/crunchy cassis, small hints of liquorice/zan as well as a very discreet hint of mild tobacco and Cuben pepper. Tannins are fine.” – 91/100, VertdeVin
