Château Haut Barrail – 2014

Very youthful colour here, impenetrable core, dark purple hue. Very nice nose. It is combining really ripe dark fruit such as cassis, dark plum and blackberry. With finely toasted oak. Good grip on the palate. A lot of extract but ripe tannin. Juicy cassis and dark plum. Fine integration of oak. Very good level of freshness as well. It really gives me a sensation of fresh berries, freshly crushed berries, but with another dimension of spiciness. So fine wood, long lingering. Quite tempting already I would say, but certainly a wine that will continue to develop for eight, ten, if not more, many more years. Fine potential here.
