Château Peyrabon 2018

Sweet black cherry and blackberry fruits, with good balance and freshness on the finish. Mouthwatering, with touches of grilled rosemary, pepper and woodsmoke. A consistent success rate at this property that is owned by Millésima négociants. Vineyards of gravel and sand soils over a clay subsoil. A yield of 22hl/ha, aged in 25% new oak.

Blackcurrant, tea-leaf, mocha and some praline aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Flavorful and structured. Drink from 2022.

Medium-bodied with tobacco leaf, herbs, olives and red berries on the nose as well as in the fresh, chewy, bright, ready to drink, medium-bodied palate.

Inky dark purple colour. The nose offers fine oak derived notes of mocha, spice and butterscotch with wild berries and cassis notes. The palate is slightly above medium weight but with muscular and dense fruit, plenty of vigorous tannin adding freshness, finely tuned oak and a long pure finish. Fine potential, drink from 2023.

Deep purple-garnet. Ripe plum bouquet, followed by fragrant cassis and light tobacco. A fleshy palate with firm, finely crumbly extract and demanding tannins, gently drying on the finish. A tightly knit finale of black berries and rosewood, rounded out thanks to its strong underlying structure.

Kunz Fassprobe 19: Velvety, dark, powerful bouquet with cassis, black cherries, mocha and delicate caramel. Velvety, subtly opulent palate with fine dark fruit, finely grained tannins, intense aromatics, a broad structure, and a long, full finish.

Slight lack of character at this stage in its development, despite well-crafted tannins.

A fruity, complex bouquet with good intensity. It successfully combines notes of freshness and ripeness through nuances of mint, raspberries and prunes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dense. It features elegant, silky tannins and a lively structure. Juicy, fruit-driven finish.

A fruity and flavoursome wine, with medium body and medium length.
