Château de Fieuzal 2024 red

Perfumed, with raspberries and floral notes reminiscent of rose petals; delicate on the palate, not heavy, light-footed, perfectly ripe fruit, well-judged tannins that wrap around the fruit core like a silk mantle, complemented by lively acidity; long-lasting, fresh, red-fruited finish. Will be enjoyable early, can age.

Medium ruby in colour. Subtle, restrained nose with red cherry, light spice and a touch of green herbs. Light-bodied and elegant rather than dense, with feathery tannins and bright acidity. Not built for the long haul, but charming and accessible in its youth.

Black raspberries, flowers, assorted peppery spices, and red cherries are a pleasure on the nose. On the palate, the wine is delicate, fresh, and zesty, with a touch of Indian spices and mint that accompanies all the strawberries, raspberries, and red plums, with their racy acidity. The wine blends 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV. Drink from 2027-2038. 90-92 pts
