Chateau La Dominique 2024

VINUM: "Feinduftig, floral, verspielt im Duft, Kirsche, Pflaume, Gräser, Rosenblüten; gradlinig und ziemlich kompakt am Gaumen, geschliffene Tannine, viel Salinität, nicht opulent, vom Stil her der Leichtathlet, zeigt Rasse, Präzision und Frische, endet langanhaltend und rotfruchtig."

ANSON: "Medium intensity ruby, good quality, carefully measured cedar and sandalwood smoke on the nose, not overpowering but adding depth through the mid-palate, which is not always the case in 2024. Acidity kicks up a little high on the finish, but there is real charm here, and chewy tannins on the finish that suggest this can soften further over ageing. Gwendeline Lucas director. Tasted twice. 3.56 pH. 50% new oak. Harvest 18 to 30 September. 31hl/ha"

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Edelholz und schwarzen Beeren, tabakige Würze, kandierte Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, schwarze Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, salzig-zitronig im Abgang, bleibt haften, zeigt Entwicklungspotenzial."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, black raspberries, plums, and a hint of mint impart a unique character to the perfume. Refined, elegant, and fresh, the wine finishes with creamy textures, sweet ripe berries, licorice, spice, and a refreshing touch of mint, along with a hint of espresso. The wine blends 85% Merlot, with 15% Cabernet Franc, 13.5% ABV, 3.56 pH. The wine is aged in 50% new, French oak, and 10% amphora. Drink from 2028-2040."
